-CONTROLS
+SPECIFIC CONTROLS
+
+Some Prado controls were based on specific extensions of the prototype+scriptaculous javascript framework, and they have been deprecated now that jQuery has become the primary js framework in prado.
+While we provide the jQuery-based counterpart for these controls and encourage everyone to port their code, the old controls are still supposed to work with some minor annoyance:
+ * prototype and scriptaculous will be loaded along jQuery;
+ * jQuery will be put in "no conflict" mode, so the $() helper won't call anymore jQuery but prototype.
 
-TAutoCompleter doesn't exists anymore, use TJuiAutoComplete instead, upgrading the code:
+Following is the list of deprecated controls.
