Onclick Event


OnClick Event occurs when a left mouse button is clicked, Like if you want to show any message or warning or data validation or something on button click you can do using Onclick event. As we display a message box in the example:

Example

<html>
   <head>   
      <script type="text/javascript">     
            function Welcome() {
               alert("Welcome to Programming With Basics")
            }
      </script>   
   </head>
   <body>
      <form>
        <input type="button" onclick="Welcome()" value="Welcome to PWB"/>
      </form>   
   </body>
</html>

OnMouseOver :


Onmouseover event triggers when the mouse comes over the element contains the mouseover event. For example, if you want to highlight or want to change the color of the text when the mouse comes over the element then this event is used.

Example:

<html>
   <head>
      <script type="text/javascript">     
            function over() {
            var x = document.getElementById("div1");
            x.style.color = 'red';
            }     
      </script>   
   </head>
   <body>
      <div id="div1" onmouseover="mouseover()">
         <h2> Mouse Over </h2>
      </div>     
   </body>
</html>
