Did you try Ext.js (http://extjs.com/)? We tried JQuery on a large J2EE project for quite some time and then gave up in favor of ext.js. Ext.js turned out to be very easy and consistent to use.

maybe ill fill it in later when they click on something? I just like

But I want to do $('#element').append(new Element('a')); which I don't
think jquery supports

What are you planning to do with that anchor? If you're just going to add it to another element, you can do:

$("#otherelement").after("<a href='http://google.com'>Google</a>");

edit -- please note that there is an actual link in that .after(), but it's being converted automatically

The idea being that you don't typically just create a url, without doing something with it.

One thing I couldn't see is easy creation of dom elements through
objects - ie: var anchor = new Element('a', {'href':url});

I'm curious as to what you think is "missing" from jQuery that *is* in Prototype?
