Interface EventListener

public interface EventListener

The EventListener interface is the primary method for handling events. Users implement the EventListener interface and register their listener on an EventTargetEventListener from its EventTarget after they have completed using the listener.

Copying a Node with the Node.cloneNode method 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 or Node.appendChild, does not affect the event listeners attached to it.

The EventListener behavior follows the description in section 1.2.2 of the DOM Level 3 Events specification.

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

Since:

DOM Level 2
