Hi folks, I've always used something like
O.setAttribute("onclick","add(evt)") to attach an event handler in SVG. But someone told me recently that O.addEventListener("click", function(evt){add(evt)}, false) is actually preferrable. (The person who told me this obviously has young fingers!) Well, why might that be? I have yet to see an example that fails to run in any browser or hand-held device because of using the simpler construction, but then I have seen only a finite number of examples. I know the simpler example will not work in HTML but I always assumed thie was because of the dysfunctional nature of HTML.;) Why are the extra keystrokes preferred, and by whom are the preferred? (Is the preference merely a function of the age of one's fingers?) cheers David [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: svg-developers-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
