>From what I can tell only the Form component uses prototype and scriptaculous when the clientValidation parameter is set to true (which is the default). The tapestry.js that is added as part of the Form component uses some of the element and event helper methods from prototype and some of the effects from scriptaculous.
The way the scriptaculous library works is that when the base scriptaculous.js is included in a page all of the various files for the library (builder, controls, dragdrop, etc) are dynamically added as additional script tags within the body of the HTML, no matter if the individual components are used or not. This has the negative side effect of making the rendered page code ugly (and difficult to troubleshoot in firebug) as well as creating 5 additional server requests. I would suggest replacing the default prototype and scriptaculous libraries with a minified (and compressed) version: http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-core/browse_thread/thread/40e58 15f5bc5fba9 http://protoculous.wikeo.be/ Currently using one of these solutions that combines prototype and scriptaculous is not possible with the Form component since it wants to add a separate file for both prototype and scriptaculous. However adding compressed versions for each works.
