Enabling UJS in Rails3 with jQuery: in just 3 steps!

    Update (May 4th) for jQuery 1.6:

    Or...

    1. put 'jquery-rails' in your Gemfile
    2. run 'bundle install'
    3. run 'rails g jquery:install'

    Tip you can pass --ui to the generator command to install jquery-ui too.

    Yes, this are 3 steps and you cheat to make it in two (1.5- Download rails ujs adapter for jquery)

    I like this approach better.
