[javascript] addEventListener not working in IE8

IE doesn't support addEventListener until version 9, so you have to use attachEvent, here's an example:

if (!someElement.addEventListener) {
    _checkbox.attachEvent("onclick", setCheckedValues);
}
else {
    _checkbox.addEventListener("click", setCheckedValues, false);
}
