Interface EventListener
The
EventListener interface is the primary method for
handling events. Users implement the
EventListener interface
and register their listener on an
EventTarget using the
AddEventListener method. The users should also remove their
EventListener from its
EventTarget after they
have completed using the listener.
When a
Node is copied using the
cloneNode
method the
EventListeners attached to the source
Node are not attached to the copied
Node. If
the user wishes the same
EventListeners to be added to the
newly created copy the user must add them manually.
See also the
Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification.
void | handleEvent(Event evt)- This method is called whenever an event occurs of the type for which
the
EventListener interface was registered.

public void handleEvent(Event evt)

evt - The Event contains contextual information
about the event. It also contains the stopPropagation
and preventDefault methods which are used in
determining the event's flow and default action.
