Prototype.js is a handy tool for getting info from the database without having to direct the user to a new page, or refreshing a particular page. For instance, when you edit one of your classified ads, you can simply go to “Manage your Ads”, and click the “Edit” button pertaining to the ad you wish to edit.

When you click on the button, the edit form is immediately shown on the same page. Once you make the necessary changes on your ad and click the “Post this Ad” button, the edit form disappears and your ad is now updated. We believe that minimizing refreshes and redirects allows more ease of use.

Another nifty feature of the site is the preview box that updates itself in real time, as you edit or post a new ad, and fill out the necessary fields in the form. This allows you to readily see the final output, which can drastically reduce the chances of making errors.
