Hi regz,
The frontpage of cakephp.org uses jquery javascript behaviours. You
can achieve the same results using prototype though.

The dynamic tabs are all javascript and have very little (if anything)
to do with cakephp. The helpers for javascript (and ajax) are a good
help but they have their limitations in what kind of javascript they
support. For a more involved javascript GUI I often end up doing my
own javascript. I can often base it on some example or other but I
keep all my "behaviours" in a central js file so that I know what they
all do. I don't think you can get "cake-native" javascript tabs. You
will probably have to look for an example of a tab-interface using
prototype/scriptaculous.

The tabs on the site make use of some jquery animation to hide and
show the tabs. They are all there from the start (no Ajax), only
hidden. jquery.js and interface.js (a jquery extension) are the
libraries loaded. All the behaviour setup is done in common.js. The
tabs take up most of that file.

You don't need to build your own library. You use an existing library
like prototype for all of the nice functions and features it has. You
build your own behaviours for your current site of application. No
library makes buttons dance like crazy around the screen but they do
provide you with nice tools so that you can write a behaviour (= a set
of rules for how things on your page should behave under the control
of javascript) that makes certain buttons dance when they should.

You can use both jquery and prototype at the same time (with some fix
I remember reading about) but you probably wouldn't want to. If you
know and like Prototype then stick with it. I dont know of any tab-
examples (for either library) but there is bound to be some. In fact,
Google delivered a few that looks good:
http://www.google.com/search?q=prototype+js+tab+example

Remember that:
CakePHP does the heavy server-side stuff and backend logic.
Prototype does GUI interaction and ajax.
HTML makes up the foundation of the page.
CSS makes the things look good.

It is rare that you will find an example that uses all these in
exactly the way you want. The basic skills you need these days is to
be able to combine an example of good-looking CSS with an example of
cool ajax with an example of solid application logic...

If you like CakePHP.org, the only "example" you are likely to find is
the actual page. But unfortunately for you it uses jquery so the
javascript would need to be re-written or replaced with some prototype
equivalent.
