Event Handling
What is an Event ?
JavaScript's interaction with HTML is handled through events that
occur when the user or the browser manipulates a page.
When the page loads, it is called an event. When the user clicks a
button, that click too is an event. Other examples include events like
pressing any key, closing a window, resizing a window, etc.
Developers can use these events to execute JavaScript coded
responses, which cause buttons to close windows, messages to be
displayed to users, data to be validated, and virtually any other
type of response imaginable.
Events are a part of the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 and
every HTML element contains a set of events which can trigger
JavaScript Code.
