This is Documentation for the Javascript library Prototype.

Prototype is a JavaScript framework that aims to ease development of dynamic web applications. Featuring a unique, easy-to-use toolkit for class-driven development and the nicest Ajax library around, Prototype is quickly becoming the codebase of choice for Web 2.0 developers everywhere.

Please be advised that prototype can adversely effect some existing javascripts and in places it secretly modifies some of JavaScripts default behavior. Before proceeding with prototype it is worth considering James Mc Parlane's Rejection of prototype.

The Documentation is split among the following pages:

• PrototypeUtilityFunctions
  Commonly used javascript functions shortened to save you time.
• PrototypeJavascriptExtensions
  Extensions of Javascripts existing classes and functions
• PrototypeElementFunctions
  For basic Dom Element manipulation
• PrototypeAjaxObject
  Simplified AJAX handling
• PrototypeMerge
  All Prototype Documentation on Bitweaver.org on one page
