hi, today im going to give you small tutorial how to use `Prototype JavaScript Framework`

1st you have to download `Prototype JavaScript Framework`library from http://prototype.conio.net/

prototype makes easy to using Javascript, ex :

when you want to point (get) the element from HTML usually we use :

CODE

document.getElementById('elementId')

with prototype we use

CODE

$('elementId')

, yeah...world getting small..with prototype.

example we`re going to get value from an element of

CODE

<input type='text' id='txt1' name='myFriend'>

with prototype we use

CODE

alert($('txt1').value)

when you want to fill element with text :

CODE

<span id='txt1'></span>
$('txt1').innerHTML = "the fox is running fastly";

OK this is little sample, we going step by step..

How do you integrate this library ? Since, Javascript is executed on Client Side. :-)

This library is only a Javascript file, you could write it as usually, ex :

<script language="JavaScript" src="prototype.js"></script>

just download the library from URL above. the library is POWERFULL.
