Back on topic... It creates a new class/object representing the class names. The class is called Element.ClassNames and it is extended by Enumerable. That means you can iterate through the element's class names. Pretty cool.

It looks to me like it creates a new element of that classname. Oh, off-topic a little bit, if you guys are interested, a friend of mine made some tweaks to prototype, check out www.beauscott.com for info. --Will -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sam Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 10:55 AM To: rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] OK. I'm confused again. Prototype.js can be humbling. Just when I think I've got a handle on how to read inside-out, I find something I've never seen before and can't get my head around. I am chasing down a bug in my code which uses Element.classNames, so I wandered off in prototype.js to see how classNames worked. Contest: Explain clearly, with the fewest possible words, how this function works: Element.Methods = { // other methods appear here classNames: function(element) { return new Element.ClassNames(element); }, _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.
