awesome tutoriel .
I readed only the 4th lesson .Just a point ( may be u have mentioned it) : the script in the page , in weeks 4 , could mention the onload via "Event.observe(window, 'load', function() { romuLoad() });".
anyway , it's the best tuto i read on prototype so far .
good work

Instead of using: Event.observe(window, 'load', function() { ... your code ... }); You should use: document.observe("dom:loaded", function() { ... your code ... });
Response from PhpRiot:
Thanks Pablo. I did in fact discover this after publishing the first 5 articles (it's not actually clearly documented, just buried in the code). For the sake of consistency I continued to use the window load event but may update all the articles in the future accordingly.

What about event-handling on an ajax page?
