What are HTML Events?

HTML Events are user interactions or browser-triggered actions like clicking, scrolling, typing, or focusing. They allow web pages to respond dynamically and create interactive user experiences.

Types of HTML Events

  1. Mouse Events: Clicking, hovering, dragging, etc.
  2. Keyboard Events: Detecting key presses like typing or shortcuts.
  3. Form Events: Triggered during form submission or input changes.
  4. Focus Events: When elements gain or lose focus.
  5. Window Events: Resizing, scrolling, or loading a web page.

Handling Events

  1. Inline Attributes: Using onclick, onmouseover, etc., directly in HTML.
  2. JavaScript Listeners: Attach event listeners using JavaScript for better flexibility.
