DOM:element.removeEventListener
From MDC

[edit] Summary
removeEventListener allows the removal of event listeners from the event target.
[edit] Syntax
element.removeEventListener(type, listener, useCapture)
[edit] Parameters
type- A string representing the event type being registered.
listener- The listener parameter takes an interface implemented by the user which contains the methods to be called when the event occurs.
useCapture- If true, useCapture indicates that the user wishes to initiate capture. After initiating capture, all events of the specified type will be dispatched to the registered EventListener before being dispatched to any EventTargets beneath them in the tree. Events which are bubbling upward through the tree will not trigger an EventListener designated to use capture.
[edit] Notes
If an EventListener is removed from an EventTarget while it is processing an event, it will not be triggered by the current actions. EventListeners can never be invoked after being removed. Calling removeEventListener with arguments which do not identify any currently registered EventListener on the EventTarget has no effect. See also addEventListener.
