Automating JS Behavior Registration

Posted on18 May 2007.

Gabriel Handford has created a behavior.js script that allows you to unobtrusively automate Event.observe'tion.

Magic is in naming conventions, so that:

PLAIN TEXT
HTML:
  1.  
  2. <a class="bvr-observe-click-xhrTheFunction" href="/the/href">The link</a>
  3.  

takes care of:

PLAIN TEXT
JAVASCRIPT:
  1.  
  2. Event.observe(theLinkElement, "click", function(event) { xhrTheFunction(event) });
  3.
