The document wiki linked from the homepage:

But the trouble is, scriptaculous is really an FX library built *on
top of Prototype*. If you want to do things like replace an image on
an onchange event, you really want to use prototype. Scriptaculous is
for making divs wobble and fade, etc (I'm being slightly spurious here
;) http://github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/wikis/effect-pulsate vs
http://prototypejs.org/api/event/observe
