# forElement method

ElementStream<T> forElement (Element e, { bool useCapture: false })

Gets an `ElementEventStream` for this event type, on the specified element.

This will always return a broadcast stream so multiple listeners can be used simultaneously.

This may be used to capture DOM events:

    Element.keyDownEvent.forElement(element, useCapture: true).listen(...);

    // Alternate method:
    Element.keyDownEvent.forElement(element).capture(...);

Or for listening to an event which will bubble through the DOM tree:

    MediaElement.pauseEvent.forElement(document.body).listen(...);

## Implementation

    ElementStream<T> forElement(Element e, {bool useCapture: false}) {
      return new _ElementEventStreamImpl<T>(e, _eventType, useCapture);
    }
