observe
Element.observe(element, eventName, handler) -> HTMLElement
someElement.observe(eventName, handler) -> HTMLElement
Registers an event handler on element
and returns element
.
This is a simple proxy for Event.observe. Please refer to it for further information.
Example
$(element).observe('click', function(event){
alert(Event.element(event).innerHTML);
});
// -> HTMLElement (and will display an alert dialog containing
// element's innerHTML when element is clicked).
