this notation $.jcarousel means you want to access that field, whether it be to set it to something else, or read the contents. this notation in javascript jcarousel: '0.2.3' is setting a key value pair where jcaraousel is the key and 0.2.3 is the value

I have books, etc. but can someone tell me what's going on here: // Create shortcut for internal use var $jc = $.jcarousel; $jc.fn = $jc.prototype = { jcarousel: '0.2.3' }; what is prototype, and what is jcarousel: '0.2.3', is that just setting some other variable's value?
