NinjaScript

NinjaScript is a jQuery library designed to allow unobstrusive scripting simply and easily. Essentially, we use jQuery selectors to apply behavior the same way we use CSS stylesheets to apply stylings. Additionally, NinjaScript makes it easy to package up useful behaviors and apply them quickly to disparate elements, or in different projects.

NinjaScript allows you to specify behaviors - including transformations - and attach them to selectors once, and then count on them always applying to any future element that matches those selectors.

It also lets you package up named behaviors for reuse, and NinjaScript includes a bunch of predefined packaged behaviors for common utilities like AJAX submission and handling graceful degradation cases.
