Hi,

It seems Ross and I have the same problem.

Of course, we can call a JS function from external code by using Webkit API.
But it's not the proper way to implement events in JS.

I'd like to use the AddEventListener("on_special_event", on_event) method to 
add my custom event "on_special_event".
And I need to attach special data to the event :

function on_event( event) {
        var v = event.mydata...
}

But Darin told us about "incomplete DOM bindings for windows"...
Furthermore it seems difficult to recompile Webkit on windows, even with cygwin.

If the special data only needs to be seen by JavaScript code, you can  
just add JavaScript properties to the event object. With the Mac OS X  
DOM bindings a clean way to do this is by taking the Objective-C DOM  
object and calling the JSObject method, giving you a JSObjectRef that  
you can then use to add additional properties to.
