HTML Event Attributes
New to HTML 4.0 was the ability to let HTML events trigger actions in the
browser, like starting a JavaScript when a user clicks on an HTML element. Below
is a list of attributes that can be inserted into HTML tags to define event
actions.
If you want to learn more about programming with these events, you should
