Hi, anyone know how to make my custom object work with addEventListener?

I didn't think you could call events on non DOM objects

AddEventListener is a method of EventTarget

Yeah I figured that out.

"The EventTarget interface is implemented by all Nodes in an implementation which supports the DOM Event Model"

I'm kind of new to OO js. Can I inherit EventTarget?

I don't think you can make a new kind of DOM element, can you?

Okay. Well there are five hundred other ways to do this, I was just bugged that it didn't work that way when I tried it.
I'm curious about the EventTarget thing. How would I go about applying that interface to my object? In the prototype?
