How should we structure a project in source control with prototype + 'real' implementation of the application? We work on a prototype for a new project and store that in source control (Subversion, but the question should be independent of that) with the following structure in our main repository with all our projects: [ProjectName]/ ...

How can I (if it is possible) use the Prototype library to loop through all select elements on a page and access the element? In the documentation I found easily shortcuts for referencing elements with certain ids, class names etc. but no reference for elements with certain tag names.

I was wondering about little differences between declaration of function prototypes in headers and in .c files. I have a header with some prototype functions and a some .c files with real implementation of these functions.
