Question

I have a listener on DOMContentLoaded which calls startup() function.

I want to add more listeners (within the startup function) to items added to the DOM in the startup function. But it seems to fail (no click event registetered)

I use item.addEventListener("click", f, false); where f is the function that is supposed to run.

NOTE: I CANNOT use onclick=… I also cannot use JQuery.

Demo code is here

You have several issues in your code:

1. previous function is not defined
2. To attach a click event via addEventListener, the event name is click not onclick.
3. You are calling addListeners outside of your load function.

Here is a jsfiddle that works: http://jsfiddle.net/VUgRu/

You should always use the javascript console to see what errors you are getting.
