public interface EventListener

The EventListener interface is the primary way for handling events. Users implement the EventListener interface and register their event listener on an EventTarget. The users should also remove their EventListener from its EventTarget after they have completed using the listener.

Copying a Node, with methods such as Node.cloneNode or Range.cloneContents, does not copy the event listeners attached to it. Event listeners must be attached to the newly created Node afterwards if so desired.

Moving a Node, with methods Document.adoptNode , Node.appendChild, or Range.extractContents, does not affect the event listeners attached to it.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification .

DOM Level 2

handleEvent

void handleEvent(Event evt)

This method is called whenever an event occurs of the event type for which the EventListener interface was registered.

Parameters:

evt - The Event contains contextual information about the event.
