How to add a click event listener on div tag using JavaScript?
To add a click event listener on div tag using JavaScript, we can call the addEventListener method on the selected div.
For instance, we write:
<div class='drill_cursor'>
hello world
</div>
to add a div with a class.
Then we write:
const div = document.querySelector('.drill_cursor');
div.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
console.log('Hi!');
});
We select the div with document.querySelector.
Then we call addEventListener with 'click' to add a click event listener.
And then we set the click event listener to a function that logs 'Hi!' in the console.
Therefore, when we click on the div, we should see 'Hi!' logged.
