Those are two built in behaviors that turn links and forms into
versions that send via Ajax.
$('a').attach(Remote.Link, { type: 'GET', dataType: 'script' });
for example...
both of them work woth a load of sensible defaults taking the URL from
the href or the action and the method from the method attribute. The
form automatically serializes the data from the form its attached to
to send.
On top of this, the Remote.Form behavior helps serialization by only
sending the submit button that you pressed in the request.
