[Proto-Scripty] Re: Which parameters to stopObserving are optional?
Okay, I do see it documented there. I was looking at the PDF version I downloaded a while ago, which is missing that part. I should have checked the online version first, but I didn't think of it.

$('foo').stopObserving();
will stop observing all observers on id=foo
$('foo').stopObserving('click');
will stop click observers on id=foo
$('foo').stopObserving('change');
will stop change observers on id=foo
i think you get the idea!

Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Which parameters to stopObserving are optional?
I noticed in the code for stopObserving that it appears you can get
away with just specifying the element, and then (perhaps) it cancels
all observers for all events for that element. However, the
documentation surprisingly does not mention this ability, but lists
the element, event name, and event handler function as though they
were required elements.
It would be very convenient to be able to say Event.stopObserving
(someElement), and so I'm wondering whether the documentation is
simply incomplete, or whether it was intentionally trying to
discourage people from using the method that way.
Thanks,
--Paul
