Using Prototype XUL

The examples here are taken from Function page of the Prototype JS api documentation. They have been re-written to reflect the Prototype XUL changes. Hope they help!
argumentNames
var fn = function(foo, bar) {
return foo + bar;
};

argumentNames(fn); //['foo', 'bar']

bind
var fn = function(foo, bar) {
return foo + bar;

argumentNames(fn); //-> ['foo', 'bar']

The underlying changes are in the methods that extend Prototype.function.

Now to my little rant… These applications are [...]
