Introduction to Events in the DOM with JavaScript
Some of What DOM Events Can Do
DOM events allow us find out when certain actions take place and then run our own code. Some common type of DOM events include:
- Mouse events like onclick, on mouse over
- Keyboard events on for figuring out what keys are pressed and when
- Form elements like on submit, focus or change
- Media events like onplay, on pause, on onseeked
- Drag events like ondrag, ondragenter, ondrop
- General object events like onload, onresize, onscroll
- Other – clipboard, print, touch, transition, speech recognition
