In the first example you give, an Ajax.Request call is given the parameter q:'ajax tutorials', which is encoded to be "q=ajax%20tutorials". Shouldn't this be encoded to be "q=ajax+tutorials"? Is this a problem with Prototype or a typo in the article, or am I completely off-base?

  Alright, I have answered my own question. It seems that the library will use %20. It seems that the spec says to use %20, and that encodeURIComponent produces a %20, though I have seen + used around town.

  
  Anyway. Another note. The article mentions using:

  
  ['page', 'sidebar', 'content'].each(Element.hide) // New way; 1.5-compatible

  
  The docs, however, suggest using:

  
  $('item1', 'item2', 'item3').invoke('hide');

  
  Happy coding!
