I'm fairly certain that in Prototype 1.5.0_rc0 and up, you just have
to call Element.addMethods(). The
Object.extend(Element,Element.Methods); is redundant. Every time
Element.addMethods() is called, all elements accessed via $() (or any
other prototype specific element selector (like Event.element(event),
etc) all will have their own methods applied as well as any methods
you've provided via Element.addMethods()
My example:
Element.addMethods({
visible: function(element) {
return $(element).getStyle('display') == 'none' ? false : true;
}
});
That's all it takes in our scripts to have the visible() method of an
element be overwritten to actually use the getStyle() method instead
of the manual .style.display attribute.
