The Rails framework installed the Prototype.js & Scriptaculous as its default JavaScript framework and defined many useful helper methods for easing the design of JavaScript(especially, AJAX).
jq4r is a Rails plugin, which installs the jQuery JavaScript framework and provides useful helper methods, too. I wish this plugin also eases the design of the javascripts and make your RHTML clean.
Just go to the jq4r project's page, and send me feedbacks if you have interesting ideas or suggestions.

Thanks alot,
I have been searching all around from last couple of months for Jquery + rails. This is really cool stuff.
I am not sure when but I would love to give my hand in it's future development.
For time being I can use it and let you know if something is not working as expected.
Cheers!!

Thanks for your passionate. If you find any bug in jq4r, please inform me ASAP. :-)
I were about to write my own jQuery plugin! ;)
I have one suggestion: you SHOULD overwrite the default rails helpers, instead of settings jquery_*/jq_* ones. If I install your plugin, it's obvious that I don't like prototype or don't want to use it! By the way, I DON'T LIKE PROTOTYPE. ;)

Thanks for your suggestion.
Overwriting the default helper may not be a good idea to me. I don't want to make the codes confusing so that I used jquery_ as the prefix of these NEW helpers.
I hope to learn something from your own jQuery plugin if you open its source :-)
