===== getTarget =====

Just a little helper function using Peter-Paul Koch's ([[http://www.quirksmode.org]]) javascript code.

  function getTarget(e) {
  	var targ;
  	if (!e){
  		var e = window.event;
  	}
  	if (e.target){
  		targ = e.target;
  	}
  	else if (e.srcElement){
  		targ = e.srcElement;
  	}
  	if (targ.nodeType == 3) { // defeat Safari bug
  		targ = targ.parentNode;
  	}
  	return targ;
  }

===== addEvent =====

Now you just do 

  addEvent(button, 'mouseover', function(){alert('hello world!');} );


  /* CROSS-BROWSER EVENT HANDLER */
  function addEvent(obj, evType, fn){
    if (obj.addEventListener){
      obj.addEventListener(evType, fn, true);
      return true;
    } else if (obj.attachEvent){
      var r = obj.attachEvent("on"+evType, fn);
      return r;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  }
  /* END EVENT HANDLER */
