Events in Web Page
Explore how to handle web page events using JavaScript event listeners within asynchronous programming. Learn to add event listeners for load, click, and keypress events, and how to integrate them with promises and async functions for cleaner, dynamic interactions.
Background
We have learned about DOM and its manipulation through JavaScript. We have yet to dynamically change DOM on a web page with listeners using JavaScript asynchronously. Let’s jump into the events on a web page! We can use asynchronous JavaScript to make dynamic changes and react to the events.
Introduction to events
Events are actions that occur on the browser or on a web page. JavaScript can listen to these actions to do certain tasks. Some events are:
- load: Event of loading the element on a web page
- click: Event when an element is clicked on a web page
