There are a couple of problems with that code. First, you're calling
Event.observer (with an 'r' at the end); the method is Event.observe
(no 'r'). The second problem is that you're calling the alert()
method and then passing its result into the Event.observe call. You
want to pass a reference to a function object to Event.observe
instead. (You can do this in many ways. One common way is to wrap
the code in an anonymous function declaration. For anything of any
size, I recommend named functions instead.)
There are lots of examples of event handlers, with discussion, on the
unofficial Prototype & script.aculo.us wiki:
http://proto-scripty.wikidot.com. Look under "Prototype Tips".
