deviceStorage.addEventListener('newarea', function(event) { // Handle new area being available. }); It's a generic pattern implemented by many objects, and multiple listeners can be registered. You define the event names and the rules for triggering them in the spec, then code can easily subscribe to the changes it wants to observe. http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-Registration-interfaces https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventListener -r _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
