Interface EventListener
- public interface EventListener
The EventListener
interface is the primary method for handling
events. Users implement the EventListener
interface and register
their listener on an EventTarget
using the
AddEventListener
method. The users should also remove their
EventListener
from its EventTarget
after they have
completed using the listener.
When a Node
is copied using the cloneNode
method
the EventListener
s attached to the source Node
are
not attached to the copied Node
. If the user wishes the same
EventListener
s to be added to the newly created copy the user must
add them manually.

Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification.
