Description
This method removes the specified event listener function. The
type and
useCapture arguments must be the same as
they were in the corresponding call to addEventListener( ). If no event listener is found that matches the specified
arguments, this method does nothing.
Once an event listener function has been removed by this method, it
will no longer be invoked for the specified
type of event on this node. This is true
even if the event listener is removed by another event listener
registered for the same type of event on the same node.
