If anyone is familiar with Jack Slocum’s revolutionary Ext javascript  
library ([http://www.extjs.com](http://www.extjs.com)) and wishes to use it with Rails (instead  
of the traditional Prototype / Scriptaculous duo), I’ve create a  
combination vendor/plugin and javascript library to help you.

If ye be brave and know how to use SVN:  
Ext on Rails: [http://www.extonrails.com](http://www.extonrails.com)
