Prototype is a JavaScript framework by Sam Stephenson designed to help
make developing dynamic web apps a whole lot easier. In basic terms, it's
a JavaScript file which you link into your page that then enables you to
do cool stuff.
There's loads of capability built in, a portion of which covers our
beloved Ajax. The whole thing is freely distributable under an MIT-style
license, so it's good to go. What a nice man that Mr Stephenson is!
Friends, let us raise a hearty cup of mulled wine to his good name.
Cheers! sluurrrrp.
First step is to download the latest Prototype and put it somewhere safe.
I suggest underneath the Christmas tree.
