I've written a function that takes a select element and adds an "add
new option ..." option to it (as well as various behaviours to support
this).  What's the most prototype-like way to invoke this on a
particular element?

I could do:

  function annotate(e) { ... };

  annotate(select_element);
  select_element.observe("data:change", function() { ... });

but that sort of construction ("raw" function calls) doesn't seem to
be used in prototype, and doesn't feel right.

So, what I'm doing at the moment is:

  Element.addMethods({

    annotate: function(e) { ... }

  });

  select_element.annotate();
  select_element.observe("data:change", function() { ... });

but this unsatisfactory too, because that adds the annotate() method
to all extended elements.

Is there a better way?



Cheers,
Michael
