[support] AJAX

[Jamie Holly]

Drupal behaviors gets called whenever something is called on AJAX, so 
you need to make sure you're doing any binding or DOM manipulation only 
once. Check out something like autocomplete.js in Drupal's misc folder. 
In Drupal 6 it adds a selector of :not(.autocomplete-processed), then 
adds that class to the element in the each loop so it doesn't do things 
that should run once on every AHAH/AJAX call. Drupal 7 uses the jQuery 
.once library to make it a little simpler.
