Hey folks. I am trying to apply a function to multiple tables all with different IDs. I got about halfway through copying and pasting the function and just changing the ID before I realized this was absurd. But I don''t know how to do this smarter with Prototype. Here is the function: Event.addBehavior({ ''table#BULLETINS'': function() { var links = $$(''table#BULLETINS tr.header'').first().getElementsByTagName(''a''); for (i=0; i<links.length; i++){ var link = links[i]; link.onclick = function() {return false;} } } }); So, I was copying this same code, changing "BULLETINS" to whatever ID I required. How do you parametrize this exactly? I have an arbitrary number of different IDs to apply this to, but I don''t know how to get Prototype to watch for *any* of them, and then use the found ID, whichever it is, in this function.

1) Simply get all tables (if those that you need are the only ones on the page): $$(''table''); 2) Assign a unique class to all of the tables, then do: $$(''table.myUniqueClassName''); 3) Specify id''s directly in selector expression (if the amount of tables is not too high): $$(''table#foo, table#bar, table#baz''); 4) Get all tables with id attribute: $$(''table[id]''); etc. -- kangax On Jul 3, 3:13 pm, Amiri <amiribarksd...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hey folks. > > I am trying to apply a function to multiple tables all with different > IDs.

That will most directly enable me to control explicitly which tables the function gets applied to. I don''t like the "grab em all and winnow them" approaches. Thank you, kangax!
