Testing anything related to events is tricky, due to security controls
imposed on page JavaScript.  There's probably a way to deal with it, but
it hasn't been documented or codified in Athena yet.

The issue with the handler you showed me is most likely that the handler
thinks its first argument is an event, but it is actually a node.  There is
no way to access the event object right now, but I have been considering
just passing it as the next argument.
