Clickable eventListeners in custom JS no longer work

[gpaez]

Hey, there!

Within the past few weeks, some of our custom JavaScript functions have stopped working. Specifically, it seems like Canvas is blocking clickable eventListeners. In our case, we lost some functionalities and DOM manipulations because of that.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar or related issue? If so, have you found a solution or have you heard from Canvas about it?

Thanks!

@gpaez It would depend on what you are trying to do. Can you provide a bit more detail about what event listener you are trying to do in this case? We are a bit limited on exactly how we can help but we might be able to provide an alternative using API here https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/
