Hi again, I probably should have mentioned in my earlier message that Prototype 1.7 (which hasn't been released yet) has built-in delegation handling which can make the `findElement` stuff a bit shorter syntactically:
$('foo').on('click', 'div.watchme', clickHandlerFunction); See http://api.prototypejs.org/dom/event/on/ But that's not until 1.7 and, for me, doesn't really offer much on top of `Event#findElement` anyway, especially not if you're handling delegation of events for multiple targets with the same ancestor element. -- T.J.
