# Prototype Window Class Helper (http://pwc-helper.xurdeonrails.com)
# by Jorge Díaz (http://xurde.info)
# thanks to Sebastien Gruhier for his Prototype Window Class (http://prototype-window.xilinus.com/)

#Quick use:
#Reference this helper in your rails applicaction adding -> helper :prototype_window_class in your application.rb
#You must include in the template header the prototype window class javascripts and the .css theme you want to use.
#This code in your template might be enough:

    #  <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'default' %> (or theme you wanna use)
    #  <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'alert' %>
    #  <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
    #  <%= javascript_include_tag 'window'%>
