At the same time, I was sure of my previous decision with the use of Prototype and Script.aculo.us was as good as it gets (without diving into the widgetized world…e.g. Dojo).

With my development of MasterWish and my recent interest in Script.aculo.us, I often find myself forgetting the various objects, functions and attributes relating to nodes.
