What's this?

define_javascript_functions() public

Includes the Action Pack JavaScript libraries inside a single <script> tag. The function first includes prototype.js and then its core extensions, (determined by filenames starting with "prototype"). Afterwards, any additional scripts will be included in undefined order.

Note: The recommended approach is to copy the contents of lib/action_view/helpers/javascripts/ into your application’s public/javascripts/ directory, and use javascript_include_tag to create remote <script> links.
