!!This is Documentation for the Javascript library [http://prototype.conio.net/|Prototype].

[http://prototype.conio.net/|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 [http://blog.metawrap.com/blog/PermaLink,guid,42b961d5-b539-4d9a-b1e0-108e546ae3e6.aspx|James Mc Parlane's Rejection] of prototype.
