Events are actions that the user preforms while visiting your page. Submitting a form and moving a mouse over an image are two examples of events. JavaScript deals with events using commands called event handlers. An action by the user on the page triggers an event handler in your script. Some common JavaScript event handlers are listed in the table below.

| onabort | The user aborted loading the page |
| onblur | The user laft the object |

| onclick | The user clicked an object |
| onerror | The script encountered an error |
| onfocus | The user made an object active |

| onmouseover | The cursor moved over an object |
| onmouseout | The cursor moved off an object |
| onselect | The user selected the contents of an object |
