i've already set up an EventListener (using addWindowEventListener) but
You can add event listeners for any event and any event target. The name of the function to add an event listener is addEventListener. To identify the event you want to listen to, you pass the event name. Events have names like "resize", "click", "beforeclose", "blur", etc.
darin - _great_. thank you very much, that was the clue that i needed, and have found the instances of addEventListener that i couldn't earlier find, not knowing what the function was called. i'm adding a simple function now to the glib bindings and copying the style of my caller to addWindowEventListener. later on i can do the other ones i've since found, based on your helpful hint, but i (personally) don't need an event listener on an XMLHTTPRequest right now so won't be adding it immediately :) l.
