title: addEventListener in Internet Explorer
body: <p>What is the equivalent to the Element Object in Internet Explorer 9?</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (!Element.prototype.addEventListener) {
      Element.prototype.addEventListener = function() { .. } 
  } 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How does it works in Internet Explorer?</p>
  
  <p>If there's a function equal to <code>addEventListener</code> and I don't know, explain please. </p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated. Feel free to suggest a completely different way of solving the problem.</p>
