Question

How can I forward the this scope refering to a element that is calling event listener?

exemple:

<input type=button value="Foo" id=mybutton>

---

addEvent('mybutton','touchstart', function(){
    if(window['touchmoved']==false)
    hover(); 
});


function hover(){
    this.value //undefined
}

Use the JavaScript Function.call or Function.apply methods:

addEvent('mybutton','touchstart', function(){
    if(window['touchmoved']==false)
        hover.call(this); // `this` of the called hover points to this `this`
});
