ISSUE-99
listen
Add shorter method names for addEventListener, et al?
- State:
- POSTPONED
- Product:
- DOM4 Events
- Raised by:
- Doug Schepers
- Opened on:
- 2009-08-27
- Description:
Alex Russell suggests that since addEventListener() and removeEventListener() are so commonly used, it would be good to add a lump of syntactic sugar by aliasing them with shorter names: listen() and unlisten(). He also suggests adding listenOnce() as a further shortcut method: <http://www.w3.org/mid/6fc58d0d0904241431n290e8166m1e126cc02e735564@mail.gmail.com>
