How to pass arguments to addEventListener listener function?

Question

The situation is somewhat like-

var someVar = some_other_function();
someObj.addEventListener(\"click\", function(){
    some_function(someVar);
}, false);
<

Also try these (IE8 + Chrome. I dont know for FF):

function addEvent(obj, type, fn) {
    eval('obj.on'+type+'=fn');
}

function removeEvent(obj, type) {
    eval('obj.on'+type+'=null');
}

// Use :

function someFunction (someArg) {alert(someArg);}

var object=document.getElementById('somObject_id') ;
var someArg="Hi there !";
var func=function(){someFunction (someArg)};

// mouseover is inactive
addEvent (object, 'mouseover', func);
// mouseover is now active
addEvent (object, 'mouseover');
// mouseover is inactive

Hope there is no typos :-)
