Hi, > <script type="text/javascript" src="D:/prototype.js"></script>
That's likely to be your problem right there. Loading things from file:/// URLs is usually a problem. I assume you must be testing your page from a file:/// URL; otherwise, that script tag will fail to load Prototype at all. There's no problem if I use your code with http:// URLs, loading Prototype from the Google CDN: http://jsbin.com/itovi4 As you can see, the returned result is extended (it has Prototype's `observe` function on it).
