Description

I just spent about one hour trying to figure out why the following didn't work: 

myDOMElement.fire('customEvent');

I found out that the event name must contain a colon (i.e 'custom:event') for some reason, after which it worked. This is not described in the documentation, which seems like an important point to emphasize.

  • priority changed from low to high.

I hit the same problem, fortunately the blog http://andrewdupont.net/2007/11/07/pseudo-custom-events-in-prototype-16/ explained the need for colons. This is very, very important.
