I approve of replacing $ with extend where this makes sense. It will add to framework size a bit, but as Sam says, it's not considerable because gzipped version of prototype.js only depends on number of different tokens, not on number of characters. In short, adding more occurrences of Element.extend will not impact framework size so much if you use gzip compression (and you should). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.
