Overview

The SafariEventTarget class serves as a base class for all objects that participate in the event-dispatch hierarchy.

void addEventListener(in DOMString type, in SafariEventListener listener, in boolean useCapture);

type: The type of event to listen for.
listener: The function to call when the event occurs.
useCapture: Pass true if you want to listen during the capturing phase; otherwise, false.

For the string used to identify the type of an event, see the reference for the class used to represent that event.

Stops listening for the specified type of event.

void removeEventListener(in DOMString type, in SafariEventListener listener, in boolean useCapture);

type: The type of event to listen for.
listener: The function to call when the event occurs.

For the listener to be removed, the parameters must be exactly the same as the parameters that were passed to addEventListener to add the listener.
