👂 How Event Listeners Work in JavaScript

Event listeners in JavaScript enable websites to react to user interactions like clicks and typing. An event is an action that occurs on a webpage, such as a button click or form submission. Event listeners are "watchers" that trigger specific code when an event happens. The addEventListener() method is preferred over onclick for its flexibility and cleaner code. Multiple listeners can be attached to a single element using addEventListener(). Event listeners can be removed using removeEventListener() when they are no longer needed. Common event types include "click", "keydown", "submit", "mouseover", "input", and "scroll". When an event occurs, JavaScript provides an event object containing information about the event. Event listeners are essential for creating interactive and responsive web pages. Experimenting with different event listeners helps solidify understanding and application.
