attachEvent Help Please

[SYP}{ER]

I can use attachEvent, but how would I go about checking to see if the event hasn't already been attached?

ex:

if (!eventAttached ('onmouseover')) attachEvent ('onmouseover', alert);

Now I highly doubt that "eventAttached" is a method, but what could I use?

Thanks :D

You can't. And please tell me that you're also using the W3C DOM2 Events method, addEventListener() for compliant browsers... :)

Naw, for Moz I'm using setAttribute.

Then why not use setAttribute() to set it in IE as well, and getAttribute() to check if it is set?

Because for some reason it wasn't working. I use set and get for Moz and it works (sort of...)
