addEventListener for check box

Question

HiI have a check box. I would like to set up an eventListener for it.This works:cb.onClick = function(){     alert("clicked");}This don't:cb.addEventListener("click", cbClick);function cbClick(){     alert("clicked");}Why not? I have used the addEventListener method for many other components.Thanks,Jakob

"click" is the correct word but, since CC versions, everything that behaves similarly to a button (with or without a value, ie basic buttons, iconbuttons, checkboxes, radiobuttons, etc) do not respond to the events "mouseup" and "click". Only mousedown, mouseover or mouseout for this kind of widgets. It has been silently disabled.

Just realized. This is also the case for the iconbutton and button component.

This works:

button.addEventListener("mouseover", buttonMouseOver);function buttonMouseOver()

{

alert("over");

}

This do not:

button.addEventListener("click", buttonClick);

function buttonMouseOver()

{

alert("clicked");

}

So maybe it is the click event which is different? Is "click" the correct word to use?
