Introduction to jQuery Events


Events are actions performed by users on a web page.

Examples of events include clicking a button, moving the mouse, typing in an input box, or submitting a form.

jQuery allows developers to handle these user actions easily using event methods.

Events make websites interactive and dynamic.

This code listens for a click event on a button.

When the user clicks the button, the function executes.

This example triggers an event when the mouse pointer enters an element.

This event runs when an input field is selected by the user.

Important Event Concepts:

  • Events respond to user actions
  • jQuery makes event handling simple
  • Events are essential for dynamic UI
  • Used in almost every web application
