I’m basically a jQuery developer. I had little knowledge about prototype.js. All I knew is jQuery is better than prototype, so I never got interested about it. However, for some reason I started a project with prototype.js and each line of code makes it clearer that which one is better. Somehow I finished the project using prototype.js along with scriptaculous.js and effects.js. Everything was fine in IE7 and FF 3. But it breaks in IE6. I was not happy with the unnecessary huge code. For example there is no live event in prototype.js, you can not apply an event to a group of elements with same class (You have to use loop for it), there is nothing like jQuery.animate function by which you can do any css animation (You have to add scriptaculous.js for some pre-built animation effects!) and a lot more limitations.
