We mod Class.create to allow the "initialize" method to return a value so then: Prototype.NodeWrapper = Class.create({ initialize: function(...) { // ... if (Prototype.isWrapper(element)) { // some check for wrapper return element; } // ... resolve element from ID or whatnot var cacheID = (element._prototypeWrapperID || [null])[0]; if (cacheID) { return Prototype.NodeWrapper.cache[cacheID]; } // set source, however that is decided on. this._source = element; }, // ... }) The reason we name it "source" instead of "element" or "dom" is so we can always know what the source of a wrapper is without having to guess if its an Element wrapper to check for "element" if its an event wrapper to check for .event. we would know its always .source. - JDD --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.
