Let me begin by saying thanks for your great reply :) And you're exactly right, when I create the elements I either have to give them a reference to the instance (which might be done using addMethod) or . The thing is I'll be creating lots of them and the only way to do this in any rational matter is by using onclick, with addmethod it might be done using this.boundmethodname() and then creating a special method for each instance of the controlling DOM element. But it would be more elegant and "cheaper" to just refer to the class instance as onclick="instancename.instancemethod()". Just refering to the constructor function wont work since I wont be creating a new class instance upon the event firing from a static element, but rather creating the dom element from a static instance of the class and interacting with it from the created element. Anyways, just passing the instance name as an argument works fine and what I'm looking for just seems to be one of those things javascript just aint built for. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
