In numerous places throughout the Prototype library, the element
parameter is extended and overwritten. This code typically resembles
the following code:
someMethod: function(element) {
element = $(element);
return element.someOtherMethod();
}
For me, at least, this makes debugging more difficult than it could
be. Consider the following modification
someMethod: function(desiredElement) {
element = $(desiredElement);
return element.someOtherMethod();
}
Now I can place a Breakpoint on Error in Firebug and instantly know
which element is causing the problem. Or perhaps even better would be
a modification to perform console logging if $(element) would return
null.
