jQuery conflates the meaning of $ and $$ in a useful manner, but
Prototype provides the invoke function to shortcut what you are doing
here.
$$('#div1 p span.someclassName').invoke('observe','click', function(el)
{
alert('b');
});
To my mind, it's a little less magic and a lot more intentional. Note
also in this case that where you have el, the reference is really to
the click event, so I would write this as function(evt) just to note
that. Prototype also scopes 'this' inside of your looped function, so
if you wanted to alert(this), you would get the individual span
element as your value.

How come I got to this
$$('#div1 p span.someclassName').each(function(el)
{
Event.observe(el, 'click', function(event)
{
alert('a');
});
});
instead of something like this ?
$$('#div1 p span.someclassName').observe('click', function(el)
{
alert('b');
});
Any way to get the latter to work like in jQuery ?
