The latter, since #identify is a function. (Don't forget your
semicolons, though!)
FYI, Tobie says that Event#element is deprecated and we should use
Event#findElement with no arguments instead, so:
function clickHandler(event) {
var id = event.findElement().identify();
}
Also note that if you know the element will have an ID, or if you
don't care if it doesn't, you can just use the `id` property.
Element#identify just returns `id`, but it checks first to see if the
element *has* an ID and if not it assigns one to it.
HTH,
