Does this cover all browser events?

It covers all widely-supported standard DOM events defined in living web specifications (UI Events, Pointer Events, Media Events, etc.). Proprietary or experimental events are excluded.

Do I need an internet connection?

The event data is embedded in the page. Once loaded, search and filtering work fully offline.

What does the usage example show?

Each example shows a minimal addEventListener call with the correct event name and the most useful properties available on the event object.

How do I use addEventListener?

Call element.addEventListener("eventname", function(event) { ... }) where element is any DOM node. Use document or window for global events.

What is event bubbling?

Most events bubble up the DOM tree after firing on the target element. You can stop propagation with event.stopPropagation(). Focus/blur events do not bubble by default.

What is an example of a DOM event?

Common DOM events include click, dblclick, keydown, input, change, submit, scroll, and load. Each fires in response to a user action or browser change and is handled with addEventListener.
