Firefox. jQuery: The Write Less, Do More, JavaScript Library. Home. TLabel: A Google Maps Extension. Using prototype.js v1.4.0. Last update: August 18th 2007 Table of Contents What is that? In case you haven't already used it, prototype.js is a JavaScript library initially written by Sam Stephenson. This amazingly well thought and well written piece of standards-compliant code takes a lot of the burden associated with creating rich, highly interactive web pages that characterize the Web 2.0 off your back.
When I first started trying to use this library, a few years ago, I noticed that the documentation was definitely not one of its strongest points. I'm also offering an un-official reference for the objects, classes, functions, and extensions provided by this library. As you read the examples and the reference, developers familiar with the Ruby programming language will notice an intentional similarity between Ruby's built-in classes and many of the extensions implemented by this library.
