ISO code to monitor events during development

[Josh]

I am just learning about the DOM level 2 event model (from ch. 19
of Flanagan's "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide", 3d ed.) I have
very little experience with event-oriented programming (most of it
from programming JavaScript using the "level 0" event model), and
I'm finding this DOM level 2 stuff pretty tricky!

So I'm looking for any programmer's aid I can find that will help
me solidify my grasp of how this event model works. In particular,
it would be very helpful to have code to monitor events as they
happen. Such code would be useful enough that I am hoping not to
have to write it myself. Does anyone know where I may be able to
find such a tool?

Thanks!

Josh

To be honest, I doubt that such a thing exists as IE doesn't implement the
DOM 2 Events model. As much of today's Web development (and therefore,
most tools) are geared towards IE, it'll be a while before any tools
concentrate on it.

Is there any particular area of the event model that you don't understand?
I'll try to give an example, and see if it helps.
