[Proto-Scripty] Anything wrong with adding a function called 'click' to the global Element-namespace?

[Luke]

Hi,

I think it's pretty annoying to write

myelement.observe('click', function(event){
        // do stuff
        event.stop()
});

for every link etc for which you want to replace the click-
functionality. So I added a Method to Element that does the observer-
invoking and event-stopping for me and simply named it click. Like
with jQuery, the event only keeps bubbling if the given eventHandler
returns true.

Element.addMethods({
        click: function(element, eventHandler) {
                if (!(element = $(element))) return;
                element.observe('click', function(event){
                        if(!eventHandler(event))
                                event.stop()
                });
                return element;
        }
});

But I'm wondering. 'click' sounds like a name to me that could easily
cause conflicts. It works in Safari and FF though. Does anyone know if
there could be sideeffects or nameconflicts?

Thanks
Lukas
