[Prototype-core] Re: Event methods' bug in Internet Explorer
Matt,
it definitely does fail in IE, because stop is implmented as
stop: function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
preventDefault and stopPropagation are 2 of the functions added to
the Event object in IE when it is extended so they dont exist on the
native IE event passed.

Isn't it just for convenience, like the Element methods that they put
Evethe method in as a property just for the syntactic sweetness?
Also I agree with Mislav, inline event handling is horrible practice.
Gather your elements and apply listeners, similar to how you avoid
inline markup because of CSS, now you can avoid inline markup for
javascript behavior because of prototype. I find myself using the
same selectors in these two technologies constantly and i'll tell you,
when you come back to it a few months later you'll be happy.
Cheers,
Matt

A possible solution for this is to use the old syntax of
Event.method(event) inside prototype itself. Or call
Event.extend(event) at the beginning of each method.
Exactly. Or simply return false when you are using inline event handling.
You shouldn't use inline anyway, it's bad practice.
