Hi,  I'm trying to convert some jquery code to Prototype.  Basically I
want a click anywhere in the document other than the menu to close any
open menu windows.

in jQuery, it's this:

        $(document).click(function(event){
                        var target = $(event.target);
                        if (target.parents("#menu").length == 0) {
                                hide('all');
                        }
        });

in Prototype, I have this:

        Element.observe(document, 'click', doThis);
        function doThis(event){
                var target = $(event.target);
                alert(target);
        }


But how do I access the id and/or parent of the target element, so I
can determine whether or not to close the menu windows?
