Benjamin's answer covers quite everything. However you need a delegation model to handle events on elements that were added dynamically then

document.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
    if (e.target.id == "abc") {
        alert("Clicked");
    }
});

For IE7/IE8

document.attachEvent('onclick', function (e) {
    if (window.event.srcElement == "abc") {
        alert("Clicked");
    }
});
