the e is the argument name on the function and what the event object becomes
known as within the scope of the function. it can be anything, but most of
us use 'e' as it's short and then you can copy/paste code easily.
if you prefer you can call it evt or something..
prototype passes the event object as that argument to the function, like
this:
definition:
function dosomething(somearg)
{
alert(somearg)
}
call:
dosomething('hi');
function arguments in scope:
somearg => "hi"
output:
alert box of "hi"
if you take this example and treat somearg as e and "hi" as an event
object.. the same applies
