Namespace: UI

  Introduction:
    Prototype-UI is a library of user interface components based on the Prototype framework.
    Its aim is to easilly improve user experience in web applications.

    It also provides utilities to help developers.

  Guideline:
    - Prototype conventions are followed
    - Everything should be unobstrusive
    - All components are themable with CSS stylesheets, various themes are provided

  Warning:
    Prototype-UI is still under deep development, this release is targeted to developers only.
    All interfaces are subjects to changes, suggestions are welcome.

    DO NOT use it in production for now.

/*
Interface: UI.Options
  Mixin to handle *options* argument in initializer pattern.

  TODO: find a better example than Circle that use an imaginary Point function,
        this example should be used in tests too.

  It assumes class defines a property called *options*, containing
  default options values.

  Instances hold their own *options* property after a first call to <setOptions>.

  Example:
    > var Circle = Class.create(UI.Options, {
    >
    >   // default options
    >   options: {
    >     radius: 1,
    >     origin: Point(0, 0)
    >   },
    >
    >   // common usage is to call setOptions in initializer
    >   initialize: function(options) {
    >     this.setOptions(options);
    >   }
    > });
    >
    > var circle = new Circle({ origin: Point(1, 4) });
    >
    > circle.options
    > // => { radius: 1, origin: Point(1,4) }

  Accessors:
    There are builtin methods to automatically write options accessors. All those
    methods can take either an array of option names nor option names as arguments.
    Notice that those methods won't override an accessor method if already present.

     * <optionsGetter> creates getters
     * <optionsSetter> creates setters
     * <optionsAccessor> creates both getters and setters

    Common usage is to invoke them on a class to create accessors for all instances
    of this class.
    Invoking those methods on a class has the same effect as invoking them on the class prototype.
    See <classMethod> for more details.

    Example:
    > // Creates getter and setter for the "radius" options of circles
    > Circle.optionsAccessor('radius');
    >
    > circle.setRadius(4);
    > // 4
    >
    > circle.getRadius();
    > // => 4 (circle.options.radius)

  Inheritance support:
    Subclasses can refine default *options* values, after a first instance call on setOptions,
    *options* attribute will hold all default options values coming from the inheritance hierarchy.

//** Featured Content Slider script- (c) Dynamic Drive DHTML code library: http://www.dynamicdrive.com.
//** May 2nd, 08'- Script rewritten and updated to 2.0.
//** June 12th, 08'- Script updated to v 2.3, which adds the following features:
			//1) Changed behavior of script to actually collapse the previous content when the active one is shown, instead of just tucking it underneath the later.
			//2) Added setting to reveal a content either via "click" or "mouseover" of pagination links (default is former).
			//3) Added public function for jumping to a particular slide within a Featured Content instance using an arbitrary link, for example.

//** July 11th, 08'- Script updated to v 2.4:
			//1) Added ability to select a particular slide when the page first loads using a URL parameter (ie: mypage.htm?myslider=4 to select 4th slide in "myslider")
			//2) Fixed bug where the first slide disappears when the mouse clicks or mouses over it when page first loads.
