Component - events
This example is based on the component private variables example, but includes the addition of events, so you can see how to add events to components.
The events you set up are isolated to each component, so they run only on an isolated component tree. They are set up with exactly the same syntax as regular events, but because they are written inside the component, they only apply to the component. The events bubble up the rest of the DOM in exactly the same way as they would natively.
It is a lot simpler to do this sort of thing in Active CSS than in native JavaScript. You get all the benefit of the Active CSS event flow within your component, but the events are totally isolated to your component. See the Components section for more information on components.
