JavaScript Events

A JavaScript event is something that happens on a page, and code can run in response.

A click, a key press, a form being submitted - each of these is an event.

Events are what turn a page from something you read into something you use.

Example

document.body.innerHTML = '<button id="btn">Click me</button>';

const btn = document.getElementById("btn");

btn.addEventListener("click", function () {
  console.log("Button was clicked");
});

btn.click();
