What if instead of plugging in onclick="bob()" to the ul, you go the
unobtrusive route?
This example I'll use apply and id to the ul. You could use a class
but will have to 'grab' or 'target' it differently with $ or $$
functions. Be sure to check for bubbling..
HTML:
<ul id="click_list">
<li>Element 1</li>
<li>Element 2</li>
</ul>
JS:
// get element by Id click_list and set var
var ul_el = $('click_list');
// Function you want to run on click event
var ulOnClick = function(e){
e.stop();
//e.target gives you the element you clicked.
return e.target;
}
// Add the click event to the ul element
ul_el.addEvent('click',ulOnClick);
