Risk/Return [Heading] rr_RiskReturnHeading FUND SUMMARY
Objective [Heading] rr_ObjectiveHeading INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Objective, Primary [Text Block] rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.
Expense [Heading] rr_ExpenseHeading FUND FEES AND EXPENSES
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 related 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 and Class C’s Sales Charges on page 20 of the Fund's Prospectus and in Rights of Accumulation on page 41 of the Fund's Statement of Additional Information (SAI).
Shareholder Fees Caption [Text] rr_ShareholderFeesCaption Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Operating Expenses Caption [Text] rr_OperatingExpensesCaption Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Portfolio Turnover [Heading] rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading Portfolio Turnover.
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 246% of the average value of its portfolio.
Portfolio Turnover, Rate rr_PortfolioTurnoverRate 246.00%
Expense Breakpoint Discounts [Text] rr_ExpenseBreakpointDiscounts You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and an eligible group of related 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.

Expense Example [Heading] rr_ExpenseExampleHeading Example.
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock The following hypothetical example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. 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 (except that fee waivers or reimbursements, if any, are only reflected in the 1-Year figures) and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE

Principal Investment Strategies.
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock We seek investments that will increase in value. To achieve our investment objective, we purchase stocks of large companies we believe will experience earnings growth at a rate faster than that of the Russell 1000 Index. The market capitalization within the range will vary, but as of August 31, 2016, the average market capitalization of companies included in the Russell 1000 Index was approximately $130 billion, and the market capitalization of the largest company included in the Russell 1000 Index was approximately $572 billion. We normally invest at least 80% of the Fund’s investable assets in equity and equity-related securities of companies with market capitalizations comparable to those found in the Russell 1000 Index (measured at the time of purchase). The Fund may actively and frequently trade its portfolio securities.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks.
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock All investments have risks to some degree. 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.

Market Risk. Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Fund’s securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will decline.

Management Risk. The value of your investment may decrease if judgments by the subadviser about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular security, industry or sector or about market movements are incorrect.

Large Capitalization Company Risk. Companies with large market capitalizations go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. Larger companies tend to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. In exchange for this potentially lower risk, the Fund's value may not rise or fall as much as the value of funds that emphasize companies with smaller market capitalizations.

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.

Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risks. The value of a particular security could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Fund invests could go down. The Fund's holdings can vary significantly from broad market indexes and the performance of the Fund can deviate from the performance of these indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. The length of time the Fund has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. Under certain market conditions, the Fund’s turnover rate may be higher than that of other mutual funds. Portfolio turnover generally involves some expense to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestment in other securities. These transactions may result in realization of taxable capital gains. The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Fund’s investment performance.

Market Events Risk. Events in the financial markets have resulted in, and may continue to result in, an unusually high degree of volatility, both in foreign and US markets. This market volatility, in addition to reduced liquidity in credit and fixed-income markets, may adversely affect issuers worldwide. Furthermore, the impact of policy and legislative changes in the US and other countries may not be fully known for some time. This environment could make identifying investment risks and opportunities especially difficult for the subadviser.

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. Active and frequent trading of Fund securities can increase expenses.

More information about the risks of investing in the Fund appears in the section of the Prospectus entitled “More Information About the Fund’s Principal and Non-Principal Investment Strategies, Investments and Risks.”

Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] rr_BarChartAndPerformanceTableHeading Performance.
Performance Narrative [Text Block] rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock The following bar chart shows the Fund's performance for Class A shares for each full calendar year of operations or for the last 10 calendar years, whichever is shorter. The following table shows the average annual returns of each of the Fund’s share classes and also compares the Fund’s performance with the average annual total returns of an index or other benchmark and a group of similar mutual funds. The bar chart and table demonstrate the risk of investing in the Fund by showing how returns can change from year to year.

Past performance (before and after taxes) does not mean that the Fund will achieve similar results in the future. Updated Fund performance information is available online at www.prudentialfunds.com.
Performance Information Illustrates Variability of Returns [Text] rr_PerformanceInformationIllustratesVariabilityOfReturns The following table shows the average annual returns of each of the Fund’s share classes and also compares the Fund’s performance with the average annual total returns of an index or other benchmark and a group of similar mutual funds. The bar chart and table demonstrate the risk of investing in the Fund by showing how returns can change from year to year.
Performance Additional Market Index [Text] rr_PerformanceAdditionalMarketIndex The Fund is compared to the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Performance Universe, although Lipper classifies the Fund in the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Performance Universe. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Performance Universe is utilized because the Fund's manager believes that the funds included in this Universe provide a more appropriate basis for Fund performance comparisons.

[1] The distributor of the Fund has contractually agreed through November 30, 2017 to reduce its distribution and service (12b-1) fees for Class A shares to .25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. This waiver may not be terminated prior to November 30, 2017 without the prior approval of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
[2] These annual total returns do not include deductions for sales charges. If the sales charges were included, the annual total returns would be lower than those shown. Without the distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver, the annual returns would have been lower, too. The total return of the Fund's Class A shares from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 was -1.77%.
[3] The Fund is compared to the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Performance Universe, although Lipper classifies the Fund in the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Performance Universe. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Performance Universe is utilized because the Fund's manager believes that the funds included in this Universe provide a more appropriate basis for Fund performance comparisons.
