move anonymous click handler function out of addeventlistener call:

var id = "someid"; var elem = document.getelementbyid("elemid"); var elemeventhandler = function() { somefunction(id); }; elem.addeventlistener("click", elemeventhandler , false);

after should able to:

var elem = document.getelementbyid("elemid"); elem.removeeventlistener("click", elemeventhandler , false);
