Thanks for the link; I had encountered that in my research, but I don't understand how this could be used to test an issue with an event handler. This may be just be due to my extremely poor unit testing discipline, but any clues would be appreciated!

Testing anything related to events is tricky, due to security controls imposed on page JavaScript. There's probably a way to deal with it, but it hasn't been documented or codified in Athena yet. The issue with the handler you showed me is most likely that the handler thinks its first argument is an event, but it is actually a node. There is no way to access the event object right now, but I have been considering just passing it as the next argument. Jean-Paul

Darn, I only just now saw that there were more emails in this thread since I started to compose my example. That's probably the cause of the problem.

So, is:

function doFoo ( self, node )

currently the canonical prototype for all athena event handlers, without exception?

Yes, though this may shortly change to function doFoo(self, node, event) (which is completely backwards compatible, of course, due to the magic of javascript sucking so much). Jean-Paul
