Supplemental:

If all listeners for the same event implement the same algorithm, you only 
need to define *one* such function such that it can be shared across 
function execution contexts –

  var elementOver = function () {
    // …
  };

–, and re-use the reference to it:

  function (…)
  {
    for (…)
    {
      elements[i].addEventListener("mouseover", elementOver, false);
    }
  }

  …

  function (…)
  {
    for (…)
    {
      elements[i].removeEventListener("mouseover", elementOver);
    }
  }

That would be much more efficient then.
