Hi Chris,
When you hook up the handler with Element#observe, it will get passed
the event object as its first parameter (even on IE). Simply call the
stop()[1] method on that object instance, e.g.:
function venFormhandler(event) {
event.stop();
/* ...do your ajaxy goodness... */
}
[1] http://prototypejs.org/api/event/stop
I just noticed that the documentation page uses the older class method
("Event.stop(event)") instead of the newer instance method ("event.stop
()"). Both are still supported and both work; the new form is a bit
shorter.
HTH,
