Here's a quick lil' addon for Prototype that I use often.

Prototype.Promise(condition, action, interval)
condition is a string that you want met before an action is run.
action is a function that does the action.
interval is the polling rate for condition in seconds, and defaults to 1

So, for example, you may want function foo to run, but only once bar has been set:

function foo(a,b) {
this.retVal=a+b;
}
var thingy = {
retVal:0
};
Prototype.Promise(
'thingy.retVal=5',
foo.bind(thingy,5,10),
5
);


Then, in some point in the mysterious future, thingy.retVal gets set to 5, at which point, the Promise goes into effect, and thingy.retVal becomes 10.

Where I find this particularly useful is in making sure that a document is loaded before doing something (condition="$$('body').length>=1), as you can see it used for the include functions.

Speaking of which, the following include functions are great for getting scripts and stylesheets into your page. I won't bother with examples, as they're pretty straightforward.

Meanwhile, Prototype.scriptPath will point to wherever in your server's heirarchy Prototype was loaded from. The regex, you'll note allows for names like prototype.compressed.js, prototype.modified.js, 2007-09-28.prototype.js, etc - just in case you want to keep track of your various hacks of Prototype, as I do.

Well after searching the internet for something similar to this, I didn't come up with anything...so I made my own! This simple script will track your members' time spent on your website. Please feel free to give comments/suggestions/feedback.

A simple, flexible formula for generating diminishing returns out of input numbers. Full explanation and home, with sample calculators and versions of the code in other languages, on the Lost Souls MUD Grimoire.

A wrapper on top of createElement for getting around IE problems with manipulating the name attribute. Unlike most solutions for this, it tests for which method to use once when the page loads rather than every time an element is created. By Chaos of Lost Souls MUD (a text-based fantasy RPG).

Use this to print alternating values from an array.

It cycles through a series of values based on an iteration number.

For example, you could use this for alternating background colors.

This detects screen resolution using javascript and makes it available to php by way of cookies.

If it's a .php page, you can simply include this file where you want a hit counter to appear.

One file - text output. Very simple, very easy. Based off the filename of the page (creates a pagename.counter file to hold the count).
(No use for it myself - made it for a friend).

This code allows you to set the "opcity" style attribute on a element without affecting it's content.

Just call the function for a specific element or to all elements of a given classname after the document loads.

Examples and advanced usage here...

These are some prototype methods to handle class names in html elements. As you all should know, a html element can have more than one class name.

This is part of my dom handling toolkit. Check it out and use it at will.
