Binding and triggering native and custom events in Prototype

I'm having a bit of issue with events in prototype.

I'm trying to bind and fire the native events: onhashchange, and onpopstate. As well as my custom events: statechange and anchorchange. All these events are for the window element.

Here's the code I've already tried with no luck:

Element.observe(window,eventName,eventHandler);
Element.fire(window,eventName);

Any help would be appreciated.

Solution

  • I ended up coming up with this: https://gist.github.com/796871

    Which allows a consistent API for custom and standard events.
