What is Events and Event Listeners?
Events and EventListeners are central to creating interactive web pages using JavaScript. Events capture actions like clicks, key presses, form submissions, and mouse movements. With event listeners, you can respond to these actions, making it possible to create interactive elements and user experiences.
An event is an action or occurrence that happens in the browser, triggered by user interactions or the browser itself. Examples include:
- User-generated events: click, keypress, mouseover
- Browser-generated events: DOMContentLoaded, load, error
