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”). |
|---|
