Jim, I'm not sure I follow. Changing the onclick attribute of an HTML node certainly affects what happens when the click event fires. Removing the onclick attribute removes the click listener. Adding an onclick attribute via the DOM adds an click listener. So I'm not sure what "exactly equivalent" means in your message. What am I missing? -Boris
