@kenchris it's not entirely clear to me what is being asked, but event listener registration is supposed to be side effect free, apart from performance optimization. See https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#observing-event-listeners in particular: > In general, developers do not expect the presence of an event listener to be observable. The impact of an event listener is determined by its callback. That is, a developer adding a no-op event listener would not expect it to have any side effects. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
