[Edbrowse-dev] attachEvent

[Karl Dahlke]

Ok I have put in the foundation for attachEvent(),
which was the next error in amazon.com.
attachEvent let's you put some javascript on a button or hyperlink at runtime.
Like the onclick attribute in html.
It's not unusual, I've seen it other places.

Read the file startwindow.js to see where I am headed.
I'd like to put more support functions here, if possible,
it's so much cleaner than in C.

I haven't really activated attachEvent across the board,
I wonder if it won't break as many sites as it fixes.
Why?
Because I'm suddenly running javascript that I didn't use to run,
perhaps just to put up a stupid commercial or something,
but if it doesn't run then the button doesn't click,
and you don't go to the next page etc.
Anyways it reminds me of cleaning my room,
sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.
Well this is a step that we do need to take at some point.
