Hi fREW, I'm not sure I have well understand your problem, but remember that when you apply an event, the context (value of this is the element originating the event, so if you want for exemple disabled every button but not the one clicked, just do something like that:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http:// www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/..."> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <script src="prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </head> <body> <input id="bt1" type="submit"></input> <input id="bt2" type="submit"></input> <script type="text/javascript"> function greySubmits() { alert(this.id); //==> the context is the clicked button !! $$("input[type='submit']").without(this).each(function(e){e.disable ()}) //==> disable all button without the one clicked !! } Event.observe(window, 'load', function() { $$("input[type='submit']").each(function(e) { Event.observe(e, 'click', greySubmits); }); }); </script> </body> </html> -- david On 17 fév, 05:14, fREW Schmidt <fri...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello Javascript friends! > > > I am working on a fairly simple javascript issue and I can't seem to figure > > out what is going wrong.
