Which handlers run?
önem: 5
There’s a button in the variable. There are no handlers on it.
Which handlers run on click after the following code? Which alerts show up?
button.addEventListener("click", () => alert("1"));
button.removeEventListener("click", () => alert("1"));
button.onclick = () => alert(2);
The answer: 1
and 2
.
The first handler triggers, because it’s not removed by removeEventListener
. To remove the handler we need to pass exactly the function that was assigned. And in the code a new function is passed, that looks the same, but is still another function.
To remove a function object, we need to store a reference to it, like this:
function handler() {
alert(1);
}
button.addEventListener("click", handler);
button.removeEventListener("click", handler);
The handler button.onclick
works independently and in addition to addEventListener
.
