It does.

It seems you aren't understanding the difference between calling a function and
just referring to it.
function hello(name) { alert('hello ' + name) };
hello('Michael'); // this executes hello
var bar = hello; // this just "references" hello
onComplete takes a function. you were instead passing it the return value of
your update() function which means you were executing it.
Since prototype doesn't yet support currying, if you need to reference a
function while passing it arguments you need to instead wrap the call to your
function inside of an anonymous function.
var bar = function() { hello('Michael') };
Unlike some languages (Java, C#) in Javascript functions are objects too.
