Note on event handling in Firefox

Hi,

Treasure said that we don't have to specify the event argument in the filterList method definition. This is true in Chrome, however, in Firefox it will result in a ReferenceError. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but we should add the argument in order for the code to work in Firefox: 

filterList = function(event) {...}

See explanation here

Note that we don't need to add event in the v-on directive:

<select v-on:change="filterList">

Here, filterList(event) would result in another ReferenceError, as there is no event variable in the current scope.

P.S. Thanks for the fun and engaging course, Treasure Porth , you are an awesome teacher!

Glad to see that someone posted this before I did. Future course material for Vue.js should define this as a necessary step to take for browser cross-compatibility - not to mention that it's a fundamental rule for handling events in Vanilla JS.

Also worth noting how to go about passing an argument to our v-on directive as well as still having access to the event object. Perhaps this will be good to include in teachers notes as well?
