I am using the rails helper observe_field to observe a the input of a textfield:

<%= observe_field :word_word, :frequency  => 0.25, :function => "wordObserve('#{@word_str}')" %>

When the textfield input becomes a certain value, I would like to stop observing. I have tried both Event.stop() and Event.stopObserving(element, eventName, handler) but neither seem to work. Any ideas?
