Call handleEvent on EventListener objects passed to addEventListener #515

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
If you pass an object to addEventListener the spec calls for it to have a 
handleEvent method. Events should be dispatched by calling handleEvent(evt) on 
the object with 'this' set to the same object.

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-EventListener

In practice, nearly everyone passes a function to addEventListener, and so 
there has not been a problem with SVG Web assuming the parameter is a function. 
Its probably in some other spec, but I do not see where it is documented that a 
function can be passed to addEventListener.

I recently stumbled across an example that uses the handleEvent style listener 
and the browsers support it, so we need to.
