JavaScript HTML DOM Events

JS HTML DOM Events

HTML DOM allows JavaScript to react to HTML events

Reacting to Events

A JavaScript can be executed when an event occurs, like when a user clicks on an HTML element.

To execute code when a user clicks on an element, add JavaScript code to an HTML event attribute.

					 
        
          onclick = JavaScript
        
      
Type Of HTML Events
  • When a user clicks the mouse
  • When a web page has loaded
  • When an image has been loaded
  • When the mouse moves over an element
  • When an input field is changed
  • When an HTML form is submitted
  • When a user strokes a key

In this example, the content of the <p> element is changed when a user clicks on it.

					 
        
          <html>
            <body>
              <p onclick="this.innerHTML = 'Ooops!'">Click on this text!</p>
            </body>
          </html>
        
      

In this example, a function is called from the event handler.

					 
        
          <html>
            <body>
              <p onclick="changeText(this)">Click on this text!</p>
            </body>
            <script>
              function changeText(id) {
                id.innerHTML = "Ooops!";
              }
            </script>
          </html>
        
      
HTML Event Attributes

To assign events to HTML elements you can use event attributes.

In this example, an onclick event is assign to a button element.

					 
        
          <button onclick="displayDate()">Try it</button>
        
      
Assign Events Using the HTML DOM

The HTML DOM allows you to assign events to HTML elements using JavaScript.

In this example, a function named displayDate is assigned to an HTML element with the id="myBtn".

					 
        
          <script>
            document.getElementById("myBtn").onclick = displayDate;
          </script>
        
      
The onload and onunload Events

The onload and onunload events are triggered when the user enters or leaves the page.

The onload event can be used to check the visitor's browser type and browser version, and load the proper version of the web page based on the information.

The onunload event occurs once a page has unloaded (or the browser window has been closed).

The onload and onunload events can be used to deal with cookies.

					 
        
          <body onload="myFunction()">

          // OR

          <body onunload="myFunction()">
        
      
The onchange Event

The onchange event is often used in combination with validation of input fields.

Below is an example of how to use the onchange. The upperCase() function will be called when a user changes the content of an input field.

					 
        
          <input type="text" id="fname" onchange="upperCase()">
        
      
The onmouseover and onmouseout Events

The onmouseover and onmouseout events can be used to trigger a function when the user mouses over, or out of, an HTML element:

					 
        
          <div onmouseover="mOver(this)" onmouseout="mOut(this)">Mouse Over Me</div>
        
      
The onmousedown, onmouseup and onclick Events

The onmousedown, onmouseup, and onclick events are all parts of a mouse-click. First when a mouse-button is clicked, the onmousedown event is triggered, then, when the mouse-button is released, the onmouseup event is triggered, finally, when the mouse-click is completed, the onclick event is triggered.

					 
        
          <div onmousedown="mDown(this)" onmouseup="mUp(this)">Mouse Over Me</div>
