thanks Holger,
Just to make sure I understand, ... naming the function add( ) was just a
coincidence since I was using it to add content to the SVG DOM. Would your
comments be just as valid if I would have used
O.setAttribute("onclick", "silly(evt)" ) ?
If I clone a node, and then use (O.getAttribute("onclick")) I'm assuming the
"property" or pseudo-property is still there to be interrogated even if I have
used addEventListener?
cheers
David

an "add(evt)" is an eval("add(evt)")
eval is considered evil :)
This cannot be accelerated with the modern JIT Javascript optimisation
in the Browsers.
