>FWIW, this was not always true in prototype, which is likely where the confusion comes from. .bindAsEventListener, once upon a time, _was_ required with .observe() - back before elements returned from $() did not get .observe() attached to them (when "Event.observe(el, evtName, func);" was the only way to use .observe); I agree, of course, that it is hardly ever needed now, but the fact that you identified a case where it _is_ needed (or desirable), kind of points towards keeping it in the API. It's not really doing any harm. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
