Prototype - Element Object

Previous Page Next Page  

The Element object provides various utipty functions for manipulating elements in the DOM.

Here is the pst of all the utipty functions with examples. All the methods defined here are automatically added to any element accessed using the $() function.

So, writing Element.show( firstDiv ); is the same as writing $( firstDiv ).show();
