It is not enough to include EventTarget as an extended attribute in the interface section. We also have to include the methods from the EventTarget interface.

For example, look at Node.idl and XMLHttpRequest.idl. They both include addEventListener, removeEventListener and dispatchEvent.

Here are the IDL files that are missing the implementation.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/source/search?q=file%3A%5C.idl+%5CbEventTarget%28%2C%7C%5Cn%29+-addEventListener&origq=file%3A%5C.idl+%5CbEventTarget%28%2C%7C%5Cn%29+-addEventListener&btnG=Search+Trunk

The short fix is to add these 3 methods to the 3 incomplete idl files above. The long term, better solution is to implicitly add these method when we have an EventTarget.
