The
EventTarget
interface is implemented by objects that can receive events and may have listeners for them.
In other words, any target of events implements the three methods associated with this interface.
Element
, and its children, as well as
Document
and
Window
, are the most common event targets,
but other objects can be event targets, too.
For example
IDBRequest
,
AudioNode
, and
AudioContext
are also event targets.
Many event targets (including elements, documents, and windows) also support setting
event handlers
via
onevent
properties and attributes.
