Hello,
please consider the following code example. It applies the onclick handler to
all image tags, and through window.event it ensures that it works in IE too:
--------------------------------------------------
var imgs =
$(''foo'').getElementsByTagName(''img'');
for(var i=0; i<imgs.length; i++) {
// Apply onclick handler
imgs[i].onclick=function() {
var id = this.id || window.event;
$(id).style.border = ''1px solid white'';
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
This works just fine. Now how can i achieve the same with Event.Observe? I
have replaced the "Apply onclick" part with the code pieces listed
below.
Unfortunately they don''t work in IE, it throws ''null or not an
object'' in
both cases.
1)-----------------------------------------------
// Apply onclick handler
Event.observe(imgs[i], ''click'', function(){
this.style.border = ''1px solid white'';
}, false);
-------------------------------------------------
2)-----------------------------------------------
// Apply onclick handler
Event.observe(imgs[i], ''click'', function(){
var id = this.id || window.event;
$(id).style.border = ''1px solid white'';
}, false);
-------------------------------------------------
I have the feeling i''m missing some important background information
here. Can
the event be passed to the anonymous function, or how does it work? Any help
is appreciated.

First of all... set up your event handler in a variable so you can detach it
when it''s no longer needed (good practice to get into). Secondly, use
the prototype function "bindAsEventListener" to get the event passed
into the handler (and to keep "this" in scope), like so...
var myHandler = function(event)
{
event.srcElement.style.border = ''1px solid white'';
}.bindAsEventListener(this);
Event.observe(imgs[i], "click", myHandler);
...then in your dispose (or cleanup stage when these elements or the click
handler is no longer needed), you can do...
Event.stopObserving(imgs[i], "click", myHandler);
myHandler = null;

Or use:
Element.setStyle(Event.element(evt), { border: ''...'' });
(especially useful if you need to set more than one style).
