    EventListener Polyfill
Is IE8 your new IE6? Level the playing field with polyfills.
This script polyfills addEventListener, removeEventListener, and dispatchEvent. It is less than half a kilobyte minified and gzipped.
addEventListener
addEventListener registers a single event listener on a single target.
Syntax
target.addEventListener(type, listener);
type: A string representing the event type to listen for.
listener: The object that receives a notification when an event of the specified type occurs. This must be an object implementing the EventListener interface, or simply a JavaScript function.
It should be noted that useCapture has not been polyfilled.
removeEventListener
removeEventListener unregisters a single event listener on a single target.
Syntax
target.removeEventListener(type, listener);
type: A string representing the event type being removed.
listener: The EventListener object or function to be removed.
It should be noted that useCapture has not been polyfilled.
dispatchEvent
Dispatches an event into the event system. The event is subject to the same capturing and bubbling behavior as directly dispatched events.
Syntax
bool = target.dispatchEvent(event);
event: An event object to be dispatched.
It should be noted that document.createEvent has not been polyfilled.
