Rails spinoffs - Feb 2006 - Behaviour.js and prototype Event.observe

say I have some code like this:

Behaviour.register({
	''#clickme'' : function(el) {
		Event.observe(el, ''click'', function(event) {
			alert("clickme was clicked");
		});
	}
});

Behaviour.apply();
Behaviour.apply();

the element with the id of ''clickme'' will now have 3 onclick
event observers.
Is there a way to work around this?

I see there''s Event.stopObserving, but I''m not sure how to use
it.  I tried
this:
Behaviour.register({
	''#clickme'' : function(el) {
		var clickit = function(event) {
			alert("clickme was clicked");
		}

		Event.unObserve(el, ''click'', clickit);
		Event.observe(el, ''click'', clickit);
	}
});

Behaviour.apply();
Behaviour.apply();

but it still seemed to add up the event handlers.

I have since rolled back to the old el.onclick = function() {} method, but
I''d
prefer to use Event.observe so I can easily apply multiple different event 
handlers to an object, as well as having handy access to the event object (so 
I''m not repeating code!) :)

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated :)
