Interfacing with legacy code, and I've got something like this:
Event.observe(some_form, 'submit', [some anonymous function])
I'd like to grab that anonymous event handler back out, is there an easy way to do that in Prototype?
It depends on the version of Prototype. From a more general answer I wrote previously:
version 1.5.x:
// inspect
Event.observers.each(function(item) {
if(item[0] == some_form && item[1] == 'submit') {
alert(item[2]) // [some anonymous function]
}
})
versions 1.6 to 1.6.0.3, inclusive (got very difficult here)
// inspect. "_eventId" is for < 1.6.0.3 while
// "_prototypeEventID" was introduced in 1.6.0.3
var submitEvents = Event.cache[some_form._eventId || (some_form._prototypeEventID || [])[0]].submit;
submitEvents.each(function(wrapper){
alert(wrapper.handler) // [some anonymous function]
})
[Current] version 1.6.1 (little better)
// inspect
var submitEvents = some_form.getStorage().get('prototype_event_registry').get('submit');
submitEvents.each(function(wrapper){
alert(wrapper.handler) // [some anonymous function]
})
