HTML Event Attributes

HTML event attributes are a core component of modern web development, enabling the creation of highly interactive and user-friendly web pages. These attributes allow the execution of JavaScript code in response to specific user actions or browser-triggered events. They play a critical role in building dynamic and responsive web experiences, making them an essential tool for developers.

Defining HTML Event Attributes

HTML event attributes are properties added to HTML elements to define actions triggered by events such as mouse clicks, keyboard input, form submissions, or page loads. By linking these attributes to JavaScript, developers can implement interactivity and behavior that enhances user engagement.
