Event Handling in JavaScript
Form Events
Form events in JavaScript are fundamental for handling user interactions with HTML forms. These events allow us to validate data in real-time, provide feedback to the user, and enhance the overall experience in form manipulation. In this chapter, we will explore the most common form events and how to handle them efficiently.
Common Form Events
submit
The submit
event is triggered when a form is submitted. This event is crucial for validating data before the form is sent to the server.
Example:
html
change
The change
event is triggered when the value of a form element changes and loses focus. It is useful for validating individual fields as the user completes them.
Example:
html
focus and blur
The focus
and blur
events are triggered when a form element gains or loses focus, respectively. They are useful for providing visual feedback to the user.
Example:
html
input
The input
event is triggered every time the value of a form element changes, without needing to lose focus. It is useful for performing real-time validations.
Example:
html
Form Validation
Form validation is one of the most important applications of form events. You can use the events mentioned above to validate the data entered by the user and prevent the form submission if the data is not valid.

Conclusion
Proper handling of form events will allow you to create more robust and user-friendly web applications. You will be able to validate and process data efficiently, improving both the user experience and the accuracy and security of the data entered.
