JavaScript Events from the Ground Up: New Premium Tutorial
Download Source Files
Almost everything you do in JavaScript is supposed to begin when something happens: the user clicks a button, hovers over a menu, presses a key, you get the idea. It’s pretty simple to do with libraries like jQuery, but do you know how to wire up events in raw JavaScript? In this week’s Plus tutorial and screencast, I’m going to teach you just that! Help give back to Nettuts+ and join our Premium program!
Whether you prefer a written tutorial, or an in depth screencast, we’ve got you covered. Andrew will teach you about the intricacies and inconsistencies of working with multiple browsers and JavaScript events.

Oooo this gets me thinking about new things. Great tutorial Andrew!
You know how you know when you program to much? It’s when you begin to replace common words with programming terms when you type… Like every time I try to type myself, I find myself typing mysqli. Weird!
When?
By way i hope this tut helps me!
Haha, good point! 16 tutorials in and still no bio. Hahaha!

If im not wrong these events can be easily found on firebug… :)
