Hi Lea,
try a look at the API documentation:
http://www.prototypejs.org/api/event/stopObserving
(you exactly do what is wrong !!)
Because you should do:
myTestClass.myCallback=this.clickHandler.bindAsEventListener(this);
myTestClass.prototype.initEvents = function()
{
var myDiv1 = $('exampleDiv1');
myDiv1.observe('click',myTestClass.myCallback);
}
And to stop event observe:
myTestClass.prototype.clearEvents = function()
{
var myDiv1 = $('exampleDiv1');
myDiv1.stopObserving('click',myTestClass.myCallback);
}
But we are from the original question which is if we could
stopObserving all event from one element?
The response is NO (otherwise, let me know, it save a lot of time and
efforts sometime).
