Interfacepublic interface EventListener

Introduced in: DOM 2 Events 

The EventListener interface is the primary way for handling events. Users implement the EventListener interface and register their event listener on an EventTarget. The users should also remove their EventListener from its EventTarget after they have completed using the listener.

Copying a Node, with methods such as Node.cloneNode or Range.cloneContents, does not copy the event listeners attached to it. Event listeners must be attached to the newly created Node afterwards if so desired.

Moving a Node, with methods Document.adoptNode, Node.appendChild, or Range.extractContents, does not affect the event listeners attached to it.
