Prototype Javascript AJAX - Quick Start

Prototype is a javascript library that allows easy AJAX implementations to enhance your website. With a couple of script calls, and class inclusions to your website you can easily access php scripts to read, compute, and return particular results. For instance an html <form> element can be used to capture data, and an AJAX call can be used to access php to compute, return, and display the results without reloading the webpage. The AJAX call can take the form data, access a database, or do direct storage in flat files. The first step is to read up on the prototype package, and see some examples in action.

The prototype library can be found here.

An excellent introductory example of prototype in action can be found here.
