Standard Event Attributes

HTML 4 added the ability to let events trigger actions in a browser, like starting a JavaScript when a user clicks on an element.

To learn more about programming events, please visit our JavaScript tutorial and our DHTML tutorial.

Below is the standard event attributes that can be inserted into HTML 5 elements to define event actions.


Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5

New event attributes in HTML 5: onabort, onbeforeunload, oncontextmenu, ondrag, ondragend, ondragenter, ondragleave, ondragover, ondragstart, ondrop, onerror, onmessage, onmousewheel, onresize, onscroll, and onunload.
