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:



and thats it, so instead of

u can do


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!

i dont need help, i said that, no where else to put it

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.

Damn my short-term memory!
