[Luke Redpath]

Unobtrusive Javascript for Rails is a Rails plugin that lets you attach behaviours to your page elements using pure Ruby with a little bit of CSS selector magic, in an unobtrusive manner, including patches to Rails' built-in AJAX/Javascript helpers to make them unobtrusive.

You can do something as simple as:

    <div id="my_funky_box">Click Me!</div>

    <% apply_behaviour "#my_funky_box:click" do |page|
        page.alert "You clicked me!"
      end %>

Or even simpler:

    <%= content_tag "div", "Click Me!", :onclick => "alert('Hello World!')" %>

All behaviours will be extracted to an external javascript file, generated at runtime, helping to ensure behaviour is separated from content and presentation.

Nice one luke. Didn't get round to checking out the first release (I've only just started seriously using RoR in the past few weeks), but will definitely be having a look at this.
