Here's a simple code that lets you click everywhere on the page and, if you click directly on paragraphs, hides them.
<html> <head> <title>Prototype examples</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascript/prototype.js"> </script> <script> // Register event 'click' and associated call back. Event.observe(document, 'click', respondToClick); // Callback function to handle the event. function respondToClick(event) { var element = event.element(); alert("Tag Name : " + element.tagName ); if ('P' == element.tagName){ element.hide(); } } </script> </head> <body> <p id="note"> Click on any part to see the result.</p> <p id="para">This is paragraph</p> <div id="division"> This is divsion. </div> </body> </html> |
