EventTarget

@native @JSGlobal @JSType
class EventTarget extends Object

EventTarget is a DOM interface implemented by objects that can receive DOM events and have listeners for them.

Element, document, and window are the most common event targets, but other objects can be event targets too, for example XMLHttpRequest, AudioNode, AudioContext and others.

Many event targets (including elements, documents, and windows) also support setting event handlers via on... properties and attributes.

Concrete methods

def addEventListener[T <: Event](`type`: String, listener: Function1[T, _], useCapture: Boolean): Unit

The EventTarget.addEventListener() method registers the specified listener on the EventTarget it's called on. The event target may be an Element in a document, the Document itself, a Window, or any other object that supports events (such as XMLHttpRequest).

The EventTarget.addEventListener() method registers the specified listener on the EventTarget it's called on. The event target may be an Element in a document, the Document itself, a Window, or any other object that supports events (such as XMLHttpRequest).

def addEventListener[T <: Event](`type`: String, listener: Function1[T, _], options: EventListenerOptions): Unit

The EventTarget.addEventListener() method registers the specified listener on the EventTarget it's called on. The event target may be an Element in a document, the Document itself, a Window, or any other object that supports events (such as XMLHttpRequest).

The EventTarget.addEventListener() method registers the specified listener on the EventTarget it's called on. The event target may be an Element in a document, the Document itself, a Window, or any other object that supports events (such as XMLHttpRequest).

This implementation accepts a settings object of type EventListenerOptions.

def dispatchEvent(evt: Event): Boolean

Dispatches an Event at the specified EventTarget, invoking the affected EventListeners in the appropriate order. The normal event processing rules (including the capturing and optional bubbling phase) apply to events dispatched manually with dispatchEvent().
