Just to combat the inevitable rush of “Prototype sucks, use foo instead!” comments, one needs to understand that Prototype is by no means a well-rounded AJAX library, but more a good I-do-a-lot-of-Javascript library.
e.g. $(‘bar’) == document.getElementById(‘bar’)
I would seriously recommend Prototype or MochiKit to those of us who need to hack at Javascript and something like Dojo for those seeking a more complete solution.
