My fault! Maybe the bad documentation has something to do with that. Still, I prefer jQuery for its ease of use and the selectors that are much more powerful than in prototype.js. I promise that I will try to use prototype a little harder next time so I will have more comparative points. Thanks for your good and constructive comment. @Tobias

Thanks for your good and constructive comment.

It's there for the situations where you need to bind a method to a special context and then pass it as an event listener. You could write it like this in Prototype(*): $('a_div').observe('click', function(){ alert(this.text()) }) I don't really how that should be worse than the jQuery syntax. (*: Prototype doesn't have a #text() method for elements right now, but that would be trivial to add.) You don’t have to use the bindAsEventListener for your example.

You could write it like this in Prototype(*):

$(‘a_div’).observe(‘click’, function(){ alert(this.text()) })

I don’t really how that should be worse than the jQuery syntax.

Just for that bindAsEventListener, prototype.js should be banned from all web applications. @FrankLamontagne

In general I feel that the JQuery way of doing things is more true to Javascript. prototype feels like they wanted to hide everything THAT IS javascript behind some kind of Dotnet like language.
