working to use Bootstrap, and that was harder to use without
I think the JS world as gone bad... I really like how things were with
prototype JS and friends.
especially the helpers in ruby...
I wonder if there would be other people interested in using them.
I believe the last version was in rails 2.3.18, and prototype 1.6.0 was
included at the time.
