Re: [Beginner] Associating event handlers with elements

        There are a couple of ways of binding event listeners:

        OBJECT.EVENTTOLISTEN=HANDLERWITHNOARGUMENTS;
        or DOM
        OBJECT.addEventListener(sEVENT,oHANDLERWITHNOARGUMENTS);
        or for IE's
        OBJECT.attachEvent(sEVENT,oHANDLERWITHNOARGUMENTS);
        where HANDLERWITHNOARGUMENTS is usually a function called

        Now, tables have a cells[] collection you can access and a rows[]
collection, you can iterate through either or both, and each node has its
own childNodes[] collection you can also iterate through doing the event
binding.

        a 3rd technique is using a listener on the parent element and checked the
bubbled object

        document.onclick=something;

        function something(ev) {
                        // in IE the evented node will be event.srcElement
                        // in mozilla/opera(opera uses either target or srcElement) the node is
ev.target
          alert(ev.target.nodeName) // will show the element tagName, so, if you
click on a cell, it'll be 'TD'

                }

        Using the 3rd tecnique, you set the event listening ONCE and check the
child that was evented and process accordingly, without having to bind a
handler/listener to each on a loop.
