Handling HTML Events

HTML events like onclick trigger JavaScript, enabling interactivity.

Introduction to HTML Events

HTML events are actions or occurrences that take place in the browser, which the HTML code can react to. Events allow developers to execute JavaScript code when users interact with HTML elements. This creates interactive and dynamic web pages.

Common HTML Events

There are several HTML events that can be used to trigger JavaScript functions. Some of the most commonly used events include:

  • onclick: Triggered when an element is clicked.
  • onmouseover: Triggered when the mouse pointer moves over an element.
  • onmouseout: Triggered when the mouse pointer moves out of an element.
  • onkeydown: Triggered when a key is pressed down.
  • onkeyup: Triggered when a key is released.
  • onload: Triggered when the browser has finished loading a page.

Using the onclick Event

The onclick event is one of the most frequently used events for user interaction. It can be added to any HTML element.
