In Prototype, you can get the target element itself this way:
function doThis(evt){
var targetElement = Event.element(evt);
alert(targetElement.target);
alert(targetElement.up('div').id);
//or something like that
}
(I have a sneaking suspicion that using event as the variable name
might cause some pain in IE. I usually stick to evt, but that's
probably cargo cult on my part...)
