What is equivalent to "jQuery.on" in plain JavaScript?

Question

What is the equivalent of the following code in javascript

$("body").on("PhantomInitEvent", function(){
                getReviewData();
                supplies_onFocus();
            });

$("body").trigger("PhantomInitEvent");

You mean using the native DOM API, and not jQuery, right? Since of course it's already JavaScript. — cookie monster, Apr 25 '14 at 05:08

It's already in JavaScript. If, however, you mean what it would look like without jQuery:

document.body.addEventListener("PhantomInitEvent", function() {
    getReviewData();
    supplies_onFocus();
});

element.attachEvent('onPhantomInitEvent', handler);

element.addEventListener('PhantomInitEvent', handler, false);
