I am developing a Bookmarklet and i received order to replace jQuery with JavaScript

I have the following code

$(document).unbind("mousemove", X.highlighter);

$(document).bind("mousemove", X.highlighter);

and also

var current, overlay = $("#overlayhighlight"), o = $('#y');

this last 3 I can replace with document.getElementsByID

the bind and unbind … no clue

Answer 1

Have a look at element.addEventListener() (MDN docu) and element.removeEventListener (MDN docu).

document.addEventListener( 'mousemove', X.highlighter );

document.removeEventListener( 'mousemove', X.highlighter );
