Valentin, I'm not on the core team (or any Prototype team, although I help moderate the user's discussion group), so I think I can say this: It's all very well complaining about bugs (in fact, hijacking other peoples' threads to talk about your pet bugs), but that's not constructive. You don't know how to submit a bug report? How hard did you try to find out? Because from http://prototypejs.org, there's this big tempting link labelled "Contribute" saying "Submit patches and report bugs" under it. Gosh. And lo!, if you follow that link and it tells you exactly what you do to submit a bug report, complete with links and instructions. How hard was that? Sure, it'll take a few minutes, but then again so did posting to this thread. I'm not trying to be unkind, but c'mon, *everyone* working on Prototype is a volunteer. They're donating their time and we're getting the benefit of their efforts. Telling them to file your bug reports for you is seriously uncool. Take ten minutes and file your own report; they've sure as heck saved you more than ten minutes with their code. I'd rather the core team and contributors spent their time doing something more constructive -- like, you know, fixing the problems people take the time to report properly. Which, curiously, they do. -- T.J.
