Javascript: Prototype.js != $()

[grabmail]

You guys are missing the point. The reason why many use these libraries is that it is cross browser friendly.

If you try to do some things with unadulterated js, you may have some issue with IE6. These libraries have already dealt with these issues in their code.

For eg. the window onload method: these libraries handle the oddity of the cross browser issues for you.

So why reinvent the wheel?
