    JavaScript Events
    ❮ Previous Next ❯

    HTML events are "things" that happen to HTML elements.

    When JavaScript is used in HTML pages, JavaScript can "react" on these events.

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

    Here are some examples of HTML events:

    An HTML web page has finished loading


    An HTML input field was changed
    An HTML button was clicked

    Often, when events happen, you may want to do something.

    JavaScript lets you execute code when events are detected.

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

    With single quotes:

    <element event='some JavaScript'>

    1/16/2021 JavaScript Events

    With double quotes:

    <element event="some JavaScript">

    In the following example, an onclick attribute (with code), is added to a <button>


    element:

    Example

    <button onclick="document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = Date()">The time


    is?</button>

    Try it Yourself »

    In the example above, the JavaScript code changes the content of the element with
    id="demo".

    In the next example, the code changes the content of its own element (using
    this.innerHTML ):

    Example
    <button onclick="this.innerHTML = Date()">The time is?</button>

    Try it Yourself »

    JavaScript code is often several lines long. It is more common to see event attributes
    calling functions:

    Example
    <button onclick="displayDate()">The time is?</button>

    Common HTML Events


    Here is a list of some common HTML events:

    Event Description

    onchange An HTML element has been changed

    onclick The user clicks an HTML element

    onmouseover The user moves the mouse over an HTML element

    onmouseout The user moves the mouse away from an HTML element

    onkeydown The user pushes a keyboard key

    onload The browser has finished loading the page

    The list is much longer: W3Schools JavaScript Reference HTML DOM Events.

    What can JavaScript Do?


    Event handlers can be used to handle and verify user input, user actions, and browser
    actions:

    Things that should be done every time a page loads


    Things that should be done when the page is closed
    Action that should be performed when a user clicks a button
    Content that should be verified when a user inputs data
    And more ...

    Many different methods can be used to let JavaScript work with events:

    HTML event attributes can execute JavaScript code directly


    HTML event attributes can call JavaScript functions
    You can assign your own event handler functions to HTML elements
