## What is an event?

A web page consists of elements such as buttons, text boxes, paragraphs, links, images, forms, etc. A user  *interacts* with these elements by performing numerous *actions*. These actions include but are not limited to clicking on elements, typing in text boxes, and hovering the mouse over elements. These actions are examples of events performed on a web page.

> An **event** is a user *action* that prompts a web page response.

The different types of jQuery events are shown below. We will primarily focus on mouse and keyboard-based events.
