Hello,
I hope this is a right place to ask about Scriptaculous library.
I started using draggable and droppables effects for the first time
and my draggable is simply initialized as

new Draggable(imageObject,{revert:true});

However, my imageObject also has an onClick event which is fired in
Firefox every time I drag the image. It surprisingly does not happen
in IE6. Can anyone recommend a fix or suggest a workaround for this?
Thank you

It isn't. You were looking for one of the resources pointed to by the
"docs & wiki" section of http://script.aculo.us/

That said, Script.aculo.us is based on Prototype.js and so inherently
flawed. You are well advised not to use it.

I am just really curious about what experts think about Prototype
framework. I understand it extends Object methods, thus opening
possibilities to some conflicts with other code or frameworks, and
surely, JS expert would rather create his/her own "Prototype" to use,
but what are the main reasons experts would not recommend using it if
it may in fact simplify and speed up the development process of non-
experts?
Thank you

There is a Google group called "Ruby On Rails: Spinoffs" where you can
get assistance.

Mr. Lahn is a very vocal opponent of Prototype and Scriptaculous.
IMHO it's fine if it gets the job done for you. The important thing
is to work with tools that are in your comfort zone and allow you to
get the job done in the time allotted to you by your work.

This subject matter often brings about a big flurry of messages as to
why Prototype is worse than Hitler.

This has already been discussed numerous times, at great length, not to say
ad nauseam, before. Surely you are able to type "Prototype" into Google's
search box and find the threads by yourself.
