JavaScript Event Handler
In this JavaScript tutorial, you will learn about using event handlers along with events for each HTML tag.
Using Event Handler in JavaScript:
Event Handlers are used in JavaScript by placing the name of the event handler inside the HTML tag associated with object. This is followed by =’JavaScript code’, the code in JavaScript which must execute when the event fires.
The events for each HTML tag are as follows:
<A>
click (onClick)
mouseOver (onMouseOver)
mouseOut (onMouseOut)
<AREA>
mouseOver (onMouseOver)
mouseOut (onMouseOut)
<BODY>
blur (onBlur)
error (onError)
focus (onFocus)
load (onLoad)
unload (onUnload)
<FORM>
submit (onSubmit)
reset (onReset
<FRAME>
blur (onBlur)
focus (onFocus)
<FRAMESET>
blur (onBlur)
error (onError)
focus (onFocus)
load (onLoad)
unload (onUnload)
<IMG>
abort (onAbort)
error (onError)
load (onLoad)
<INPUT TYPE = "button">
click (onClick)
<INPUT TYPE = "checkbox">
click (onClick)
<INPUT TYPE = "reset">
click (onClick)
<INPUT TYPE = "submit">
click (onClick)
<INPUT TYPE = "text">
blur (onBlur)
focus (onFocus)
change (onChange)
select (onSelect)
<SELECT>
blur (onBlur)
focus (onFocus)
change (onChange)
<TEXTAREA>
blur (onBlur)
focus (onFocus)
change (onChange)
select (onSelect)
For example, consider a button placed in a form named PressButton. The following code placed in the click event of the button named PressButton would be written:
|
In the above example, when the user clicks the button, the onclick event of the button fires and the message assigned to value displays:
Press the Button output value!!!
The block of code written in the function outputvalue() in JavaScript fires or calls.
