In this blog of Code With Bishal, I am going to show you how can you change colour of a div using the JavaScript click event. So, stay with me till the end and you will get all the downloadable resources and we will create this project using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
So, What actually is a JavaScript click event in DOM addEventListener?
The Document Object Model (DOM) addEventListener adds an event listener to an element specified. It does not overwrite existing event handlers, it simply adds a new event.
For Example:
addEventListener()
If you want to remove an existing Event Listener you can easily remove it using removeEventListener
For Example:
removeEventListener()
So lets have a quick demo on what are we gonna create today
Demo:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Nostrum quae expedita nisi dolor dignissimos at reiciendis quos blanditiis dolore. Nulla architecto iure soluta necessitatibus at sit est maiores commodi fugit.
