Unobtrusive remote links and forms

For quite a while now it has bothered me that link_to_remote and remote_form_for are not unobtrusive. That is, they insert Javascript right into the HTML, and link_to_remote does not automatically fall back to a normal GET request when Javascript is unavailable. I was excited about the UJS plugin, and then saddened when I found out it was no longer active.

After some research and experimentation, I found a solution I am happy with, using LowPro and RJS. See my post at:

There is nothing really new here, but I hope it is helpful to see all the pieces in one place.
