jQuery Events

jQuery event methods are used to create further manipulation of the DOM (Document Object Model) by attaching a function to an event handler. In other words – users interact with the browser by clicking or hovering over something and those are called events. jQuery can recognize an event and then do something with it. In this video, I will walk you through a few example events.
