Here's my test:
//valid page wrapped around this, latest prototype linked from google.
<form action="" id="foo" method="get" accept-charset="utf-8">
<p><input type="submit" value="Test"/></p>
</form>
<div><p><a href="#" id="bar">Test Submit</a></p></div>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$('foo').observe('submit',function(evt){
Event.stop(evt);
console.log(evt.element().id);
alert(evt.element().id)
$('foo').submit();
});
$('bar').observe('click',function(evt){
Event.stop(evt);
$('foo').submit();
})
</script>
Clicking on the form button fires the alert and reports that 'foo' was
the event element there and in the console. Clicking on a#bar submits
the form without passing Go, collecting $200, or anything else
console- or alert-related happening.
Tested in Firefox 2.latest and Safari 3.latest.
