You can use the PrototypeHelper functions straight from your web page (e.g. from an onclick event handler) or you can make call Prototype functions directly.... it is just a JavaScript library, after all. For complete details on using Prototype directly check out http:// www.prototypejs.org. RJS comes into play, for example, when the request needs to go through the server from an AJAX call.

Try this:

<%= link_to('show foo', '#', :onclick => "Element.show('foo'); return false;") %>

And make sure the page is loading the Prototype javascript in the header.

Using Firefox with the Firebug extension can really help debug these kind of problems.
