Feature
===============

jquery is a jquery javascript library wrapper and ajax helper for happy
TurboGears web designers.

It contains 3 extra ajax widgets based on jquery.

* addCallback / link_to_remote(target ,update, href, callback)

* addPeriodBack / periodically_call_remote(update, href, interval)

* addFormback / form_remote_tag(target, update, href)

Which are inspired from Ruby on Rails/pquery and give them the twisted syntax.
