Based on a suggestion in this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-scriptaculous/browse_thread/thread/7520e6f31722bdd
...I've been checking out using the element.on method rather
than .observe for monitoring descendant elements. I clearly don't
understand how to use the on method, since when I replace observe with
on in otherwise identical code the function never returns as shown
below:
function initInternalLinkListener() {
$('centercontent').observe('click', function(evt) { //observe works
normally. on makes the function never return
var foo = 0;
});
}
document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {
initContactListener(); //gets run
initInternalLinkListener();
new AjaxTabber('tablist'); //never run if element.on used in prior
function
}
It looks to me from the api that on and observe should be equivalent
except on allows for a css selector (which is why I'm interested in
it) and listening for decendents, so this behavior is very confusing
to me. Can anyone enlighten me on this?
Thanks a bunch.
