Y do I like Scriptaculous?

Many doubt… Y do I like Scriptaculous?

I like Scriptaculous coz… I like Ajax…

mmm now don ask me Y do I like Ajax!

Scriptaculous demonstrates the usage of Ruby on Rails with AJAX helpers, and I luv all the script.aculo.us effects, drag-and-drop, Puff, Fade & Appear, Shrink & Grow… In-place Editor… etc etc. Everything… each n everythin…

I really cant stop thanking my young Guru, who introduced me to this.

And ofcourse, without Rails concept, all these effects wouldnt have been easily learnt! Like a curry(Rails) with all the spices(Scriptaculous) in it!

Rails is good! Ruby on Rails is the Best!

Ajax is Superb! Scriptaculous is Amazing and Fantastic!

Script.aculo.us 1.6.4 Released on 6th September.
