Prototype equivalent for jQuery live function

Question

I need to bind event listener to all dynamicaly created elements by given css selector.

In jQuery, that would be

$(\".foo\").live(\"click\", function

The correct answer to the question is here: http://gurde.com/2011/08/jquery-live-in-prototype/

The equivalent of the jQuery .live() in Prototype is the Event.on() method:

var handler = document.on(
    'click',
    'div[id^="post-"] .attached-post-thumbnail',
    function(event, element) {
        console.log(this);
        console.log(element);
    }.bind(this)
);

handler.stop();
handler.start();

Within the callback, the this keyword will always refer to the original element (in this case document).
