is there a short cut to refer to the binding ancestor element ?

[rvj]

assuming a binding such as element may contain many embedded elements
through extends etc
and a handler such as

<handler event="click" action="mouseclick(event)"/>

is there a quick way to refer to the top most element (ancestor) ??

something like

alert("ancestor tag name is "+ancestor(event).tagName)

.... or do you have to add some kind of event capture + addevent listener
workaround

[rvj]

please ignore

this!
