[TxMt] Prototype & Scriptaculus Bundle

[Andreas Wahlin]

That's a great fucking explanation. Thanks a bunch!
I feel I owe some sort of tip here ... but I can't really .. oh, wait :)
tip taken from http://www.dustindiaz.com/awkward-looking-javascript/
Since javascript functions are mainly variables (sort of), you can  
have a function that calls itself on initalisation, like

(function() {
do_stuff;
}());

this also works in json, so you can have immediately executing code  
returned from the server. This might not be good practice, but it  
sure shows how cool javascript is :)

sorry everyone for the OT stuff, but if you read this  
thread,hopefully your interested in some javascript voodoo anyway.
