var el = document.getElementById('id');
// example using an anonymous function (not recommended):
el.addEventListener('click', function() { alert('hello world'); });
el.addEventListener('click', function() { alert('another event') });
var el = document.getElementById('id');
// create named functions:
function alertFirst() { alert('hello world'); };
function alertSecond() { alert('hello world'); };
// assign functions to the event listeners (recommended):
el.addEventListener('click', alertFirst);
el.addEventListener('click', alertSecond);
// then you could remove either one of the functions using:
el.removeEventListener('click', alertFirst);
