addEventListener("input", callback) doesn't work in opera?

Question

I'm trying to listen to "oninput" event, but something is wrong with Opera:

document.getElementById("i1").oninput = function(){
    console.log("inputting");
};
document.getElementById("i1").addEventListener("input", function(){
    console.log("inputting");
});

The first one works, but the second one doesn't work....it this a bug of opera?

OK, I figured out this myself, addEventListener has a 3rd parameter, it can be ignored in Chrome but not other browsers.

The DOM events spec was changed recently to make the third argument optional, Opera will follow but for now it's best to keep the third argument for best compatibility. – hallvors Oct 25 '11 at 11:02

This was added to Opera in version 11.60. – webinista Aug 17 '12 at 14:48
