Prototype
From WebOS101

Overview
Prototype[1] is the core JavaScript library upon which Mojo is built. It works by extending the built-in methods and language constructs of JavaScript to provide more functionality with less code.
Issues
Not all of Prototype is supported in WebOS. Following is a list of Prototype extensions you should not use:
$()
Basically just a short version of document.getElementById, you should use Mojo.Controller.SceneController.get instead. From within your Scene Assistant it should look like:this.controller.get('someElementIdHere');
The reason being, that document.getElementById is actually window.document.getElementById and when dealing with multi-stage applications, the DOM element 'window' may or may-not exist at any given time.
