Ah, it seems you're referring to Evertjan.'s code, while I'm referring
to Luuk's.  My following simplified solution[1] is somewhat speculative,
since it is based on some example HTML and an according script snippet,
but anyway:

    document.getElementById("csschart")
            .addEventListener("click", function (e) {
        var elt = e.target;
        while (elt && elt.tagName !== "DT") {
                while (elt.tagName !== "DD") {
                    elt = elt.parentNode;
            }
            elt = elt.previousElementSibling;
        }
        if (elt) alert(elt.textContent - 1);
    });

If the .textContent couldn't be used this way, it would still be
possible to walk through `#csschart dt` and set appropriate data-*
attributes, and to use these in the listener.

Disclaimer: the code is rather fragile, but the HTML could be changed,
and I wouldn't build a barchart with CSS anyway.
