We're hitting those two questions on a regular basis. The first is pretty easy to deal with - jQuery is growing rapidly both in terms of available plugins and sites using it. It also has books, blogs and vibrant community. As for the second one, that's a problem. Prototype is entrenched in a lot of organisations and developers don't like ditching their tried and tested libraries for something new. However, in certain circumstances Prototype is a major nightmare because it's not namespaced - drop it in to a portal environment and generally everything goes pearshaped. Guy
