addEvent()
Version 1.0 - June 19, 2007
How it works:
Creates a common method for adding event handlers to DOM objects.
Use:

Requires:

Returns: n/a

Create Debug Output Window
How it works:

Otherwise creates ss.dbo as an Array, to store output from dependant functions.
Use:

Returns: n/a

getParentNodesByTagName( Starting Element, 'query nodeName' )
