Prototype gets selector magic

January 18th, 2006

Sam Stephenson doesn’t stop to add new wonders to the Prototype JavaScript framework and the new $$ function that just got added to the Prototype SVN trunk is sure a fine example:

Example: Find all <img> elements inside <p> elements with class “summary”, all inside the <div> with id “page” and hide each matched <img> tag:


$$('div#page p.summary img').each(Element.hide);

Great stuff.
