Sam Stephenson fea6bc1a21 prototype: Automatically strip security delimiter comments from JSON strings before evaling them. The default delimiter is '/-secure- ... /' or you can specify your own with the Prototype.JSONFilter regular expression. If you wrap your JSON response bodies in this delimiter on the server side, rogue external sites can't hijack potentially sensitive data via <script> tags. Closes #7910 .		2007-04-24 03:31:14 +00:00

==== An object-oriented JavaScript framework

Prototype is a JavaScript framework that aims to ease development of dynamic 
web applications.  It offers a familiar class-style OO framework, extensive
Ajax support, higher-order programming constructs, and easy DOM manipulation.

=== Targeted platforms

Prototype currently targets the following platforms:

* Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, version 6.0 and higher
* Mozilla Firefox 1.0/Mozilla 1.7 and higher
* Apple Safari 1.2 and higher

== Using Prototype

To use Prototype in your application, download the latest release from the 
Prototype web site (http://prototypejs.org/download) and copy 
<tt>dist/prototype.js</tt> to a suitable location. Then include it in your HTML
like so:

  <script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/prototype.js"></script>

=== Building Prototype from source

<tt>prototype.js</tt> is a composite file generated from many source files in 
the <tt>src/</tt> directory. To build Prototype, you'll need:

* a copy of the Prototype source tree, either from a distribution tarball or
  from the Subversion repository (see below)
* Ruby 1.8.2 or higher (http://www.ruby-lang.org/)
* Rake -- Ruby Make (http://rake.rubyforge.org/)
* RDoc, if your Ruby distribution does not include it

From the root Prototype directory,

* <tt>rake dist</tt> will preprocess the Prototype source using ERB and 
  generate the composite <tt>dist/prototype.js</tt>.
* <tt>rake package</tt> will create a distribution tarball in the 
  <tt>pkg/</tt> directory.
