Prototype JS

So after doing a little bit of exploration in javascript frameworks yesterday, I found out how easy prototype makes it.

Ajax is easy as could be, and you address element id’s with $(id) as compaired to document.getElementById(’id’).

I wish I was smart enough to make my own framework, I’ve got some learning to do, but I think I got the idea.

I haven’t figured out how to extend the DOM so that you can use $( instead of document.getElementById, but I’m working on it!

Any Ideas?

Kangax pointed out to me this:

  
function $(id) {
return document.getElementById(id);
}

I feel really stupid now for not seeing this earlier.
