EventTarget class

EventTarget class

The EventTarget interface is implemented by all Nodes in an implementation which supports the DOM Event Model. Therefore, this interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the Node interface. The interface allows registration and removal of Event Listeners on an EventTarget and dispatch of events to that IEventTarget.

Inheritance: EventTargetDOMObject

The EventTarget type exposes the following members:

Constructors

Event Listeners can never be invoked after being removed.
remove_event_listenerThis method allows the removal of event listeners from the event target.
If an IEventListener is removed from an EventTarget while it is processing an event, it will not be triggered by the current actions.
Event Listeners can never be invoked after being removed.
