prototype gives you those abstracted static methods (like Event.element() and Event.positionY and positionX), which you can use in a cross-browser manner... and then you still have access the original (browser native) Event object if you need it.

Hehe thanks for putting so much work into this, but to me it certainly
begs my original question. Any chance of making "e" work the same in
FF and IE?
