Walter,
Am I missing something about bindAsEventListener when you pass it a
string for the thisObj parameter? Because it looks to me like you're
binding your 'details' function such that when the function is called
in response to the event, the 'this' keyword will refer to the string
"evt". It doesn't matter in your example because your 'details'
function never uses 'this' (instead it gets the element that was
clicked using Event.element, which is reasonable), but I thought I'd
ask the question...
