Unless you have a lot of existing RJS, don't use jquery-rails. It is not being maintained and is still at jQuery 1.3. IIRC, jQuery 1.6 has been released. jquery-rails was a nice transition point for moving from RJS and Prototype to jQuery. Having done that, I am going to convert all the RJS to straight jQuery and/or move to Coffescript. At this point, unless jQuery-rails is updated from the newer jQuery releases, it is useful only as a transition of existing RJS. Don't write new code for it.
