Forum: Rails Spinoffs (closed, excessive spam) prototype Element.observe handler function - how to add more arguments in addition to event handler

$(id).observe('click', this.add( 'name' ).bindAsEventListener(this));

As we know, event handler passed as argument to handler function.
Sample above not correct, but how to add 'name' string argument to
handler function?

If you have 1.6, you can do

$(id).observe('click', this.add.bind(this, 'name'));

This will put 'name' in the first parameter to this.add().

Function.curry may also be helpful.
