And another reply-to-self...make that:

Event.observe(el, 'click', (function(event) {
        Element.addClassName(Event.element(event), 'myClass');
);

Probably can't use the element directly like that, but this should work:

Event.observe(el, 'click', (function(event) {
        Element.addClassName(event.element, 'myClass');
);

as for this, I believe Event.observe handles finding the proper event object
for you and passes that to your function.  This is what I've experienced
anyways :)

Since I'm using behaviour.js and sometimes calling behaviour.apply() multiple
times per page-session, I can't use Event.observe, unfortunately :(  I
probably can, but just don't know how, yet ;)

Flame me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you just skip the 'this' part and use 'el'
directly?

something like:
Event.observe(el, 'click', (function(event) {
        Element.addClassName(el, 'myClass');
);
