jQuery live() in plain JavaScript?

Question

I am trying to accomplish what the jQuery live() function can do, but in plain JavaScript. Can anyone here help with this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Here is a little startup example

document.onclick = function(evt){

    evt =  evt  ||  window.event;
    var element = evt.target  ||  evt.srcElement;

};

wherever you click you get a reference to the element that received the click.

More useful, though, in a real scenario would be to use the attachEvent method for IE, or the addEventListener for the rest.
