Good to know and I'm sure it will be quite useful. > 1) Does this belong in prototypejs? I looked at scriptaculous, and > that lib seems a bit too Hollywood compared to this light weight > effect. No. Prototype should remain as small as possible. While this feature would be useful for some, it's hardly a universal must-have. I have a vision of one day creating an archive of javascript libraries built off of prototype and scriptaculous (taking the idea of Perl's CPAN - http://search.cpan.org)). You could define dependencies on other libraries Examples and test suites would be provided that could be run from a browser so you can try before you buy. And lots of other cool things. But I don't really have the time or resources to devote to it now. If something like that ever happens, then you could publish you library there. Until then, setup your own repository and web page for the library. Post it here and just keep the community informed about releases and progress. > 2) If it does have a place in prototypejs, which object should it > belong to?
