EVENTS IN JAVASCRIPT

An HTML event is an "event" that occurs with HTML elements. When JavaScript is used in HTML pages, JavaScript can "bounce back" with these events.

HTML event An HTML event can be something the browser does, or something the user does.

Here are some examples of HTML events:

An HTML page has finished downloading The HTML input field has been changed An HTML button has been clicked Usually, when events happen, you may want to do something. JavaScript allows you to execute the command line when the event is executed.

HTML allows event handling attributes, with JavaScript code, to be added to HTML elements.
