@Fabio: if David used addEvents in this case he would lose some of his events because of the duplication of the keys.

element.addEvents({

‘click’ : function() { console.log(‘click event 1′); },

‘click’ : function() { console.log(‘click event 2′); }, // blows away (click event 1)

‘resize’ : function() { console.log(‘resize event 1′); },

‘mouseenter’ : function() { console.log(‘mouseenter event 1′); },

‘mouseleave’ : function() { console.log(‘mouseleave event 1′); },

‘mouseleave’ : function() { console.log(‘mouseleave event 2′); }, // blows away (mouseleave event 1)

‘mouseleave’ : function() { console.log(‘mouseleave event 3′); }, // blows away (mouseleave event 2)

‘customevent’ : function() { console.log(‘customevent event 1′); }

});

When would you use this? Any real world example?

Interesting. I don’t know how I would use that… It rarely gets so out of hand that I don’t know how many events my elements have

Could have Fabio, but that isn’t necessarily the point of the article. :)

:S Why not use element.addEvents? would save a lot of typing.

Yeah I would. someone should write a Firebug extension that does this…
