jquery to prototype, ajax and slide

Question

hi, i am moving from jquery to prototype because of compatibility issue with IE6. basically, i have a multiple submits in one page and i want to submit the form via ajax and return the result to associated div of each form.

this is what i have used in jquery for multiple submit

i am getting value of submit id and using that for div value.

$(".button").click(function() { var element = $(this); var Id = element.attr("id");

 var dataString = $("#UpdateBond"+Id).serialize(); 

 //alert (dataString); return false;

 $("#flash"+Id).show();
 $("#flash"+Id).fadeIn(400).html('<img src="images/ajax-loader.gif" align="absmiddle"> updating.....');

 $.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: "index2.cgi",
  data: dataString,
  success: function(html) {
    $('#flash'+Id).html(html);
  }
 });
return false;
});

another issue is slider. IE6 doesn't support jquery slider so i am kinda in dilemma. i was wondering if there is similar stuff in prototype. i am trying to learn prototype now.

I would say IE6 is really, really not worth changing technologies any more. I'm all for downward compatibility and supporting older systems but you have to draw a line somewhere. My 2 cents.
