if I add an event using something like

addEvent(el, 'mousedown', function(){
...
});

Is it then possible to remove this event using removeEvent?

Hey, good to see you still hacking on the event code ;). Try:

var hastaLaVista = function(){};
addEvent(el, 'selfdestructsequenceinitiated', hastaLaVista);
removeEvent(el, 'selfdestructsequenceinitiated', hastaLaVista);

You have to track it somehow using a variable. This is as per the DOM specs for add/removeEventListener, just pass a reference to the same function.

Good luck - Angus.

Wow, that was fast!

Thanks- that should work once I refactor a couple of things.

Cheers,
