Event Handling
Overview
Handling events in JavaScript is a fundamental part of building interactive web pages. In this activity, you'll learn all about the different events you can handle, how to handle them, and how to pass data between the event handler and the rest of your code.
"Events are things that happen in the system you are programming — the
system produces (or "fires") a signal of some kind when an event occurs, and provides a
mechanism by which an action can be automatically taken (that is, some code running) when the
event occurs. Events are fired inside the browser window, and tend to be attached to a
specific item that resides in it. " - MDN
