Javascript Events
Events are things, which happen with HTML or Javascript variables.
Javascript can catch (react) that thing (events).
Javascript Events
Javascript events can be triggered by the user or by the browser. Let's imagine a problem, that you need to call a function when the HTML tag clicked or any other events.
To explain it, you must know, that you can use Javascript Events in two ways.
1) With Html Tags
2) With Javascript Codes
Here is the syntax of using events.
<any-tag any-event="Javascript code">
object.[any-event]=function(){myScript}; object.addEventListener("[any-event]", myScript); Let's make an example.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<button onclick="getElementById('element').innerHTML='click-event'">Click Me</button>
<p id="element">Test me</p>
</body>
</html>Javascript has a very long list for Events. We'll try to show you the basics, which you will need.
This is the HTML tag events list
