Prototype uses some browser-sniffing techniques to try and determine
what user agent is accessing the page. It store the result in a series
of boolean variables. So if Prototype.Browser.WebKit is true, the user
is using a WebKit-based browser (Safari, and perhaps Konqueror?).

Hmm. A simple Google search for "webkit" yields, as its top three 
results:

1. The WebKit Open Source Project: "WebKit is an open source web
browser engine. WebKit is also the name of the Mac OS X system version
of the engine that's used by Safari, ..."

2. Surfin' Safari: "Weblog from David Hyatt, one of the engineers
working on creating and updating Safari."

3. WebKit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. "WebKit

You googled for webkit and didn't get ANY answers?  Wtf?

Well thanks for the answers guys....i actually searched for
Prototype.Browser.WebKit because I was under the illusion that this
was a prototype specifc thing. What's with the attitude Andrew WTF!

WebKit is not a prototype specific thing, it's an HTML/JavaScript/CSS
rendering engine.

Prototype.Browser.WebKit is a Prototype specific thing, it's a boolean 
test
to determine whether this script is being processed by WebKit. :-)
