== script.aculo.us web 2.0 javascript
The Web is changing. The 30-year-old terminal-like technology it was originally
is gradually giving way to new ways of doing things. The power of AJAX allows
for rich user interaction without the trouble that has bugged traditional
web applications.
Building upon the wonderful Prototype JavaScript library, script.aculo.us
provides you with some great additional ingredients to mix in.

== Installation/Usage
script.aculo.us includes the Prototype JavaScript Framework
V1.6.0. You can use later versions, as they become available
(see http://prototypejs.org/).
Put prototype.js, and the six files scriptaculous.js,
builder.js, effects.js, dragdrop.js, controls.js and slider.js
in a directory of your website, e.g. /javascripts.
(The sound.js and unittest.js files are optional)
Now, you can include the scripts by adding the following
tags to the HEAD section of your HTML pages:
scriptaculous.js will automatically load the other files of the
script.aculo.us distribution in, provided they are accessible
via the same path.
See http://madrobby.github.com/scriptaculous/ for detailed
usage instructions.
== The distribution
Besides the script.aculo.us files in src, there's a complete
test tree included which holds functional and unit tests for
script.aculo.us.
If you need examples on how to implement things, the best place to
