      EventListener l = new EventListener {
         public void handleEvent(Event evt) {
            // you can try to use the current n element here, that
            // means you need to make it final and build one listener
            // for each element or use evt.getTarget() to get the
            // element and use only one listener instance per document
         }
     }
     n.addEventListener("click", l, false)

You can use too event bubbling on the addEventListener and attach only 
one listener on the document root and check the element type you are 
getting, instead of attaching a listener to each element, the advantage 
of this method is that it work for all text elements you add later 
without need to add a listener to them
