Hi TJ, Thanks for pointing this ! When I first read the API doc (in the "old" format), explanations were not that clear or i misunderstoos them ; but then looking in the new API doc, it's much more clear ; and thanks for the proto-scripty.wikidot.com<http://proto-scripty.wikidot.com/prototype:tip-you-probably-don-t-need-bindaseventlistener> i wasn't aware of !
