A have an observer watch for a click on a link. Inside the triggered function, I want to extract a piece of information from the URL. Currently I am able to do: alert(Event.element(el));
This displays the url string of the link, which is exactly what I need to work with. However, when I try: Event.element(el).match(//); I get a javascript error "selector.match is not a function". I also note that prototype has an extension to Element named match as well. Am I accidentally using prototypes when I want the native javascript function? Or does Event.element() return a string to alert but something else otherwise? Is there any way to get the string displayed in the alert into a form I _can_ use .match(//) on?
