The HTML DOM onfocus event occurs when an element gets focused. The onfocus event is mostly used with <input>, <select>, and <a>. The onfocus event is the opposite of the onblur event.
Syntax:
<element onfocus="myScript">
object.onfocus = function(){myScript};
- In JavaScript, using the addEventListener() method:
object.addEventListener("focus", myScript);
Note: The onfocus event is different from the onfocusin event because the onfocus event does not bubble.
Example 1: This example explains the onfocus event in the HTML.
