Rails spinoffs - Mar 2006 - Prototype event models and Internet Explorer

Hi,

I was just reading an article that talked about the problems with
Microsoft''s event registration and handling.
>From http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_advanced.html
   1. Events always bubble, no capturing possibility.
   2. The event handling function is referenced, not copied, so the
this keyword always refers to the window and is completely useless.

I was wondering if the Prototype library completely works around these
problems or if I can still run into trouble.

Thanks,
Peter

Not sure about #1 (never run into that one myself), but #2 is fixed via
bindAsEventListener
