    <p>Great! it now works. You know this is an example in a book I was trying to learn from. The author neglected this very important part just as he misleadingly said that the best way to reference the effects library in scriptaculous is like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/prototype.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>instead of like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/prototype.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/effects.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>The book has great reviews on amazon but I don't think any of the reviewers have tried to use the book. They all review for its volume and not the substance of the book. None of the examples I've tried to use in the book have worked. I've had to figure it out for myself. I guess you could say that I have to read other parts of the book to understand a certain example, but for a book that big, can one actually do that? If I have to know something the author mentioned before, shouldn't I be reminded about it, at least in terms of a book so big that is in fact kind of a reference book? In case you're wondering: <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0596528388" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ajax: The Definitive Guide, by Anthony T. Holdener III</a></p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> The author used an older version of the Scriptaculous and Prototype libraries that's why there was a misunderstanding. If you get this book try to keep this in mind. I actually now have a deep respect for the book, if only for its shear volume.</p>
