HTML DOM UiEvent

The DOM UiEvent in HTML is an event that is triggered by the user interface belonging to the UiEvent Object. The two main purposes of the UI Event are:

  • Allows registration of event listeners and describes event flow through a tree structure.
  • Provide a common subset of the current event systems used in existing browsers.

Syntax:

Event_name = function

Return Value: This will return the object with the specified Event attached. 

The event types belonging to the UiEvent Object are:

Event function
abort This event occurs when the loading of a media is aborted.
beforeunload This event occurs before the document is about to be unloaded
error This event occurs when an error occurred during the loading of a media file.
load This event occurs when an object has loaded.
resize This event occurs when the document view is resized.
scroll This event occurs when an element’s scrollbar is being scrolled.
select This event occurs after the user selects some text for(“input” and “textarea”).
unload This event occurs once a page has unloaded (for “body”).

Example 1: This example is based on “onresize” event.
