| Expense Narrative [Text Block] | rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock | The tables below describe the sales charges, fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and an eligible group of investors purchase, or agree to purchase in the future, $25,000 or more in shares of the Fund or other funds in the Prudential Investments family of funds. More information about these discounts is available from your financial professional and is explained in Reducing or Waiving Class A's Initial Sales Charge on page 20 of the Fund's Prospectus and in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information (SAI), in Rights of Accumulation on page 41. |

| Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] | rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock | The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 49% of the average value of its portfolio. | |||||||||

It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as indicated, redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return on your investment each year, that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. | |||||||||

This waiver may not be terminated by the distributor prior to December 31, 2013, and may be renewed, modified or discontinued thereafter. The decision on whether to renew, modify or discontinue the waiver is subject to review by the distributor and the Fund's Board of Directors. | |||||||||
| Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE Principal Investment Strategies. |
|||||||||
| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | We normally invest at least 80% of the Fund's investable assets in equity and equity-related securities of medium-sized companies with the potential for above-average growth. In deciding which equities to buy, we use what is known as a growth investment style. This means we invest in companies that we believe could experience superior sales or earnings growth. “Investable assets” refers to the Fund's net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund's investable assets will be less than its total assets to the extent that it has borrowed money for non-investment purposes, such as to meet anticipated redemptions. The Fund will provide 60 days' prior written notice to shareholders of a change in its non-fundamental policy of investing at least 80% of its investable assets in the type of investment suggested by its name. While we make every effort to achieve our objective, we can't guarantee success. |
|||||||||
| Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund. | |||||||||
| Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | All investments have risks to some degree. Please remember that an investment in the Fund is not guaranteed to achieve its investment objective; is not a deposit with a bank; is not insured, endorsed or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency; and is subject to investment risks, including possible loss of your original investment. Recent Market Events. The equity and debt capital markets in the United States and internationally have experienced unprecedented volatility. The financial crisis has caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities. This environment could make identifying investment risks and opportunities especially difficult for the investment subadviser. These market conditions may continue or get worse. In response to the crisis, the U.S. and other governments and the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have taken steps to support financial markets. The withdrawal of this support could negatively affect the value and liquidity of certain securities. In addition, legislation recently enacted in the United States calls for changes in many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of the legislation on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be known for some time. Risk of Increase in Expenses. Your actual cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the expenses shown in the expense table for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile. Equity Securities Risk. There is the risk that the price of a particular stock the Fund owns could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual stock losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector of them in which the Fund invests could go down. Different sectors of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments. Growth Style Risk. The Fund's growth style may subject the Fund to above-average fluctuations as a result of seeking higher than average capital growth. Historically, growth stocks have performed best during later stages of economic expansion and value stocks have performed best during periods of economic recovery. Since the Fund follows a growth investment style, there is the risk that the growth investment style may be out of favor for a period of time. At times when the style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform the market in general, its benchmark and other mutual funds. Management Risk. Actively managed mutual funds are subject to management risk. The subadviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these techniques will produce the desired results. Additionally, the securities selected by the subadviser may underperform the markets in general, the Fund's benchmark and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives. Market Risk. Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Securities markets are volatile. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions. Regardless of how well an individual investment performs, if financial markets go down, you could lose money. Initial Public Offerings Risk. The Fund may participate in the initial public offering (IPO) market. The volume of IPOs and the levels at which the newly issued stocks trade in the secondary market are affected by the performance of the stock market overall. If IPOs are brought to the market, availability may be limited and if the Fund desires to acquire shares in such an offering, it may not be able to buy any shares at the offering price, or if it is able to buy shares, it may not be able to buy as many shares at the offering price as it would like. The prices of securities involved in IPOs are often subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than more established stocks. Such unpredictability can have a dramatic impact on the Fund's performance (higher or lower) and any assumptions by investors based on the affected performance may be unwarranted. In addition, as Fund assets grow, the impact of IPO investments on performance will decline, which could reduce total returns. For more information on the risks of investing in this Fund, including risks of investing in foreign securities, please see How the Fund Invests—Investment Risks in the Prospectus and Investment Risks and Considerations in the SAI. |
