Ok, i dont need help...but instead of typing document.getElementById blablabla al lthe time, just shorten it by creating a simple function which looks like:

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

and thats it, so instead of

document.getElementById('myidhere').style.display="none";

u can do

$('mydivhere').style.display="none";

simple, and saves time, aswell as looking better

Prototype is a life saver, isn't it! I use that short-hand version all the time, in fact there's so many short-handed ways to do various tasks in Prototype I forget half of them!

So what is it that you need help with? This sounds more like a tutorial than a question to me.

I believe you could've listed this under the Miscellaneous Tutorials in the Tutorial Free-For-All section.

Still, it's a handy function and I use Prototype as well, so for those who want the simplicity of writing that without the need to use the entire library, this is the answer to their prayers.
