document.element.attachElement(eventNameString, functionPointer)

The following code creates a button and attaches two onclick event handlers to it:

<FORM>
<INPUT ID="counter1" STYLE="position:relative; left:10px" TYPE="button" VALUE="Click Me in IE 5.x">
</FORM>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var obj = document.getElementById('counter1');
var xlocation = parseInt(obj.style.left);
document.getElementById('counter1').attachEvent("onclick", firstClick);
document.getElementById('counter1').attachEvent("onclick", secondClick);

function firstClick() {
  alert("first click");
}

function secondClick() {
  alert("second click");
}

// -->
</SCRIPT>

Play around with it now in Internet Explorer 5.x. Observe the two alert boxes for the two event handlers:
