Best methods when working with even handlers

[eldan88]

Hey guys. What do you guys think is the best way to work with event handlers.

 

Using this method   "document.addEventListner('click',myFunction,false)"

 

or the classic method

 

"myelement.onclick = function() {

 

}"

 

I hear that the first method I mentioned is not compatible with earlier versions of IE 8 and earlier. Thanks

It isn't.

 

You can however emulate this perfectly for IE.

 

(function(e){if(e&&e.prototype.addEventListener)return e.prototype.addEvent=e.prototype.addEventListener;if(e&&e.prototype.attachEvent)e.prototype.addEvent=addEvent;function addEvent(ev,f){this.attachEvent('on'+ev,f);return this;}})(HTMLElement);

Should work. Untested, might have mistyped on my phone.
