not working on IE8

[nettuto]

Hi, thanks for this great work, butit seams that it's not working on IE8, so any suggestion?
Thanks

Ah, I think it fails because it is using addEventListener instead of attachEvent. Could probably replace calls to addEventListener / removeEventListener with calls to something like this and I'm guessing it would work:

function addEvent(emitter, type, f) {
  if (emitter.addEventListener)
    emitter.addEventListener(type, f, false);
  else if (emitter.attachEvent)
    emitter.attachEvent("on" + type, f);
};

function removeEvent(emitter, type, f) {
  if (emitter.removeEventListener)
    emitter.removeEventListener(type, f, false);
  else if (emitter.detachEvent)
    emitter.detachEvent("on" + type, f);
};

@bgrins, it does not fix all the legacy issues.

@laukstein sorry, I won't have time to track down all of the issues myself but I could help if you or anyone else were interested in adding IE8 support

[laukstein]

@bgrins Yes, IE8 support is exactly for what I am looking right now. What are your advises on adding IE8 support in it without adding any library like jQuery, Mootools, etc.?

@laukstein have you replaced the calls to addEventListener / removeEventListener with the sample functions above? If so, what are the next issues - is it working at all or completely broken? Throwing an exception or just silently failing?
