JavaScript helpers are already present in our tutorials (did you read the shopping cart tutorial and askeet day 8?), but the book didn't contain any detailed documentation about it yet. All those who had to dig into the source code to understand how the link_to_remote(), observe_field() or visual_effect() helpers work will probably be pleased to hear that a new chapter has just been added to the book.

The JavaScript helpers chapter will show you how to manage JavaScripts in your symfony templates, from the simple alert("foobar") to the more complex AJAX interactions.

Make sure you check it out before starting your new Web 2.0 application!
