Javascript removeEventListener not working - event listener remains

Question

I\'ve looked at a few ways around this, but I can\'t really tell, my code is:

lb = document.body;

if(lb.addEventListener){    
    lb.addEventListener(\'key         


        

Answer 1

you cant remove an anonymous function with removeEventListener, instead use the function name. e.g:

if(lb.addEventListener){    
    lb.addEventListener('keyup', myFunction, false);
}

//In another function.

if(document.body.removeEventListener){
    document.body.removeEventListener('keyup', myFunction, false);
} 

the new function:

function myFunction(e){
    var keyCode = e.keyCode;

}
