Yeah unit tests/test page coming in a week or so. I'll post it up on my site once it is ready.
Actually I've made some changes (backwards compatible of course) to the Event object that I'll most likely post up at the same time. Such as scope correction/override, extra params, stopObserving works with anonymous functions and automatic event extension with event methods. I've been using Event.Custom and updates to the Event object for a recent project, working out the bugs and making sure it works properly. I'll most likely post it up in about a week.

This seems like a Good Thing :) I think it would gain more acclaim with just a slight test-code page *hint hint* Andreas On Aug 18, 2006, at 15:34 , Brandon Aaron wrote: > Here is what I've been using for custom events in my projects. > It is pretty straight forward and small. > http://www.brandonaaron.net/prototype/src/event.custom.js > > You create an event like this: > > var onMyEvent = new Event.Custom('myEvent'[, someObject || window]); > > The first param is the name of the event, it defaults to > 'customEvent'.
