Web Dev Roadmap for Beginners (Free!): https://bit.ly/DaveGrayWebDevRoadmap In this video we'll learn about Event Listeners in JavaScript with addEventListener. We'll also explore Event Bubbling, Event Capturing, Event Propagation, and Prevent Default Behaviors. We'll look at the click event, readystatechange event, mouseover & mouseout events, and the submit event while using both named and anonymous functions as event handlers. We'll also work with the add, remove, and toggle methods of a classList.
