Element: DOMActivate event
Deprecated
Avoid using this feature in new projects. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.
The DOMActivate event is fired at an element when it becomes active, such as when it is clicked on using the mouse or a keypress is used to navigate to it.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener().
js
addEventListener("DOMActivate", (event) => { })
Note:
There is no onDOMActivate event handler property for this event.
Event type
Examples
This example listens for DOMActivate on a <button> element and displays its detail.
HTML
html
<button>Click</button>
JavaScript
js
const button = document.querySelector("button");
button.addEventListener("DOMActivate", (event) => {
button.textContent = `Click count: ${event.detail}`;
});
Result
Note that detail of the DOMActivate event may have browser-specific behavior. It may either always be 0, or have similar behavior as the click event's detail (i.e., indicating the number of consecutive clicks).
