						<p>The W3C DOM <span class="literal">EventListener</span> object is nothing more
than a reference to a script function that is invoked by a node in
response to an event. Its existence in the W3C DOM offers a
convenient way for the specification to signify the data type of the
second parameter to the
<span class="replaceable">nodeObject</span><span class="literal">.addEventListener(
)</span> and
<span class="replaceable">nodeObject</span><span class="literal">.removeEventListener(
)</span> methods, described earlier in this chapter.
