Posted on Sep 8 Hey there, JavaScript enthusiast! Ready to add some interactivity to your web page? Well, you're in the right place because today, we're diving into the exciting world of event handling in JavaScript.Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's talk about what an event is. In the web world, an event is basically something that happens – a click, a keypress, a mouse movement, you name it. These events can be captured and responded to using JavaScript.To catch these events, we use something called an event listener. It's like having a spy waiting for specific things to happen on your web page. When that something happens, the event listener jumps into action.Here's a simple example:In this code, we're telling JavaScript to listen for a click event on the element with the id myButton. When the button is clicked, a pop-up alert will appear saying 'Button clicked!'. Magic, right?Events can carry extra information with them, like where the mouse was when it was clicked. This additional info comes in an event object.In this snippet, we're logging the mouse's X and Y coordinates whenever the mouse moves over myElement. The event object contains all the juicy details.Don't forget, you can also remove event listeners if you no longer need them. It's as simple as this:And there you have it – a quick tour of event handling in JavaScript! With event listeners and event objects in your toolkit, you can make your web page respond to user actions and create dynamic, interactive experiences.So go ahead, give it a try! Add some event handling magic to your website and make it come to life.Templates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use.Hi @shubhankarval , Welcome to Dev Community Are you sure you want to hide this comment?
