Today’s topic is event listener. The first method that i learned today is addEventListener().
The Event Target method addEventListener() sets up a function that will be called whenever the specified event is delivered to the target.
Here below is a link which helped me to go through addEventListener() method step by step. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener
Here are some ways to add an event listener to an element:
element.addEventListener("click", function(){ alert("Hello World!"); });
An external function can also be referred to:
element.addEventListener("click", myFunction);
function myFunction() {
alert ("Hello World!"); }
The addEventListener() method allows us to add event listeners on any HTML DOM object, like HTML elements:
window.addEventListener("resize", function(){
document.getElementById("id").innerHTML = sometext; });
There is a remove method in case we want to remove a event listener: removeEventListener()
element.removeEventListener("mousemove", myFunction);
Tomorrow ,i will continue with the same topic.
I had time to work on my CV, tried to improve it according to the feedback.
My typing and English lessons are still go on.
