JavaScript Events

 JavaScript Events

JavaScript events are a fundamental aspect of building interactive and dynamic web applications. Events are occurrences or happenings, such as user actions (like clicks and key presses) or browser-related actions (like page loading). JavaScript allows developers to capture and respond to these events, enabling the creation of responsive and engaging user interfaces.
