Ok, I read up some more on prototype and I do understand all the ajax
concepts etc. My initial problem is that I was attempting to work off
of existing code that wasn't written right. So that led me down the
wrong path. With the help from you guys I've now finished my project
and tested it pretty thoroughly with no bugs. If you couldn't already
tell I was trying to replicate flikr by using photonotes.js. Well, I
had to heavily modify photonote's to get it working how I wanted it.
After a couple days I've now got it working so thanks a million.
