Javascript e vs. object? Chome Inspector

Question

I'm working on a small project with Leaflet, and trying to diagnose why using the map.load event is returning Object [object Object] has no method 'load' (although the load event is firing properly)

When I inspect the variable containing the map object in chrome instead of saying

Object {foo: bar}

it says

e {foo: bar}

What does the e represent? I can provide pictures of the chrome inspector output if that would help.

var map = L.map('map', {maxZoom: 16, minZoom: 4, zoomControl: false})
.setView([46.5675115, 17.468262], 6);
map.load(mapInit());

function mapInit() {
  console.log('Ive loaded');
}

`e` is the constructor. It is more useful when you use the uncompressed source. — Fabrício Matté, May 19 '13 at 02:24
could you (or anyone) elaborate on this slightly and put it into an answer? — rob-gordon, May 19 '13 at 02:40
Pretty sure this has been done before, see [How are javascript class names calculated for custom classes in Chrome Dev Tools?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/12231139/1331430) — Fabrício Matté, May 19 '13 at 03:29

load is an event, not a method. You need to use on to attach event listeners:

map.on('load', mapInit);
