Removing Event Listeners

Clean up handlers

Remove listeners with removeEventListener(). You must pass the same function reference.

function handleClick() { }

button.addEventListener("click", handleClick);
// Later...
button.removeEventListener("click", handleClick);

// This WON'T work:
button.addEventListener("click", () => {});
button.removeEventListener("click", () => {}); // Different function!
