jQuery is tailor-made to respond to events in an HTML page.

All the different visitors’ actions that a web page can respond to are called events.

An event represents the precise moment when something happens.

Examples:

  • moving a mouse over an element
  • selecting a radio button
  • clicking on an element

The term “fires/fired” is often used with events. Example: “The keypress event is fired, the moment you press a key”. Continue reading jQuery Event Methods
