Using Events

The HTML DOM allows you to execute code when an event occurs.

Events are generated by the browser when "things happen" to HTML elements:

An element is clicked on

The page has loaded

Input fields are changed

You will learn more about events in the next chapter of this tutorial.

This example changes the style of the HTML element with id="id1", when the

user clicks a button:

Example

My Heading 1

οnclick="document.getElementById('id1').style.color = 'red'">

Click Me!
