JavaScript’s increasing popularity throughout the web makes it more important than ever to make sure our client side code is implemented with a nice mix of stability, speed, and reusability. One of the best ways for accomplishing this is to use a simple library and syntax to use as a foundation for every project. Thankfully, Sam Stephenson created an amazing library of functions that we can rely on called Prototype.js to ease our JavaScript development practices.

So, you run a multilingual web site with PHP and you want to serve the reader's choice language if available. No problem, HTTP carries user's language settings within Accept Language instruction, you just have to parse it. Here is a sample function
