Drum roll please… After three attempts/failures, I present to you the newest version of the Prototype XUL library! The previous released version technically never worked. It was something I threw together for a Firefox project that only required the basic of functionality (Ajax.Request, utility functions, etc.). I was under the impression that converting the functions that failed due to the known XUL function bug would solve all the problems. Unfortunately this was not the case and under these assumptions more complex functionality ceased to work correctly. This version has gone through a finer examination, conversion and code update to (hopefully) be a fully functional representation of prototype. Hopefully Firefox 3 will have this bug corrected and I wont have to release many future updates. Please post any bug reports, questions or feedback in the comments section, this will help reduce duplication and make my life easier :). Enjoy!

Most usage should be the same as the original prototype library. But I will write up a short doc tonight.

Jan: If you are developing only for firefox 3 you don’t need to use Prototype XUL anymore. The project was built to work around a bug in FF2 that prevented prototyping function. I believe this was corrected in FF3. I haven’t tried, but the normal prototype library should work as expected now.
