[thelist] Javascript addEventListener fail

[Barney Carroll]

Hi guys,

This has always stumped me. Usually I end up going about the problem a
completely different way and drop addEventListener completely, but I'd like
to get to the bottom of what I'm missing.

Here is the problematic line of script:

th3s[i].addEventListener('click', 'changeTab('+i+')', false);

This is inside a for loop, and the event needs to be evaluated — which I
can't seem to make it do. Firebug tells me that it "could not convert
JavaScript argument" on this line.

th3s is an array of elements and they're all fine. I'm working out how to do
this the ECMA way, so don't put it down to IE not understanding that
function — I'll deal with it when I can make this work in the real world.
