Just my two cents:

Best advice, as suggested, is to use one framework or the other (prototype OR jQuery etc.). No matter what plug-in or feature you would like to use, a comparable version can always be found in the other framework.

Can I also repeat the need to WAIT UNTIL THE PAGE HAS FULLY LOADED before attempting to reference any element on the page. In jQuery:

Code:

$(document).ready(function() {
    // reference page elements, attach events, here!
});

or even the shorthand version:

Code:

$(function () {  
    // your code  
});

The elements on the page DO NOT EXIST until the page has loaded.

This is the most common error.
