I have, in many ocassions been able to register methods for all HTMLElements in both ways.
So I am curious, is there any difference?
Should I prefer one method over the other one?
What would be the right way to do it?
using prototype is making the function available to all objects in the prototype chain. Its basically extending the class. While other one is just adding a property to the current element. But as Felix suggest the right thing would be not to do this at all.
