EJS and event handling

[Sel]

Hi,
I know that JMVC covers it but i don't want to use JMVC in current
project (i have different design pattern than suggesten in jmvc).

What i have to do is to trigger an event on a component that stores
the view(ejs).

I want to:

<div id="middleCol_menu">
<a href="#" onclick=" <% trigger('tabChange') %>"
class="tab_first">Click!</a>
</div>

and initialization:
var Component = new JS.Class({
render: function() {
return this._template.render(this);
},

trigger: function(eventName) {
alert('event: ' + eventName + ' triggered');
}
})

How can I do this think?
Is it possible to call the template function after it's rendered?

After you inject it in the dom, find the element and attach the event
handler.
