= Attaching To Events =


== Statically in RML ==
The easiest way to attach to events with python is to write your code directly into the RML files, using the on* attributes. When the event is fired three global variables are set up, ''document'', ''event'' and ''self''.

||self||The element thats currently being processed||
||[wiki:documentation/PythonManual/Documents document]||The document the element thats currently being processed belongs to||
||[wiki:documentation/PythonManual/Events event]||The event thats currently being processed||

Example:
{{{
<button onclick="print('Clicked!')"/>
}}}

To aid in the coding of inline Python code, libRocket allows multiple lines of Python code can be put on one line, separated by a semicolon. The parser will then reformat this code before passing it to the Python interpreter.

Example:
{{{
<button onclick="print('Line 1');print('Line 2')"/>
}}}


== Dynamically from Python Code ==

The Python version of AddEventListener is modelled directly on Javascript. This allows you to bind any callable Python object (free function or method) or string to an event.

Method 1:
{{{
element = document.GetElementById('button')
element.AddEventListener('onclick', "print('Line 1');print('Line 2')", True)
}}}

Method 2:
{{{
def OnClick():
  for i in range(10):
    print('Line ' + str(i))

element = document.GetElementById('button')
element.AddEventListener('onclick', OnClick, True)
}}}
