DOM Level 2 Events
Methods
addEventListener( )
Adds an event listener to the set of event listeners for this node. dispatchEvent( )
Dispatches a synthetic event to this node. removeEventListener( )
Removes an event listener from the set of listeners of this Document
node.
Description
In DOM implementations that support events (i.e., those that support
the "Events" feature), all nodes in the document tree
implement this interface and maintain a set or list of event listener
functions for each node. The addEventListener( )
and removeEventListener( ) methods allow listener
functions to be added and removed from this set.
