The carousel component manages a list of content (HTML LI elements within a UL) that can be displayed horizontally or vertically. The content can be scrolled back and forth with or without animation. The content can reference static HTML content or the list items can be created dynamically on-the-fly (with or without Ajax).

Prototype Carousel is not anymore supported BUT a new version is available with Prototype UI library with more features, better code and based on the latest prototype version.
