JavaScript Fundamentals: Understanding Events
The interaction of JavaScript with HTML is handled through events. Events are actions that occur when either the user or the browser itself manipulates the page.
Some common events that occur with websites, are page loads, button clicks, key presses, hovers, form submissions, window resizing, to name but a few.
As developers, we can use these events to execute coded responses, such as displaying messages, validating data, reacting to a button clicks, and really anything else we can imagine.

By learning about events, we’ll learn to bring everything together & truly make our websites interactive!
