Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Prototype based tabs and field validation. Enjoy!

Everything looks great. But I have one minor beef with the validation stuff. It has to do with the $ shortcut functions and the fact that that potentially pollutes the global namespace. The practice of defining global functions this way is something that, for my projects, the prototype library helps me avoid (via using a namespacing convention throughout my class libraries). The $ shortcut thing... it beckons back to the days of having myriad libraries in a project and all of a sudden you add a new one and something somewhere breaks because the authors named their functions the same. If everyone writing "the prototype way" keeps adding $[pick a letter of the alphabet] functions, I can see this becoming a problem... there's only 26 letters in the alphabet, collisions are imminent.

Other than that, fine tools. Thank you for the contribution.
