Hello
On your page http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/javascript/domevents,
you refer to IE as using the event function "removeEvent". I believe this
should actually be "detachEvent". I have tested this.
Otherwise this page was very helpful, thank you. I finally understand these
darn events.

Gareth,

Thanks very much for this. Yes, you are right, the correct name is
detachEvent. It's my own fault; I actually wrote that particular chapter
of the tutorial without any access to IE or the Internet (stuck in a
hostel), and apparently forgot to test that part of it, since all the
demos attach events, none of them remove the listeners again. Oops.
Corrected now.
