Questions tagged [event-delegation]

In JavaScript, event delegation is a concept of listening to specific events on some element (eg. the whole document) to catch these events being fired on any of the child elements, even the ones that did not exist when the event was being attached. This happens thanks to another concept called "event bubbling", which makes events to be visible by parent elements. Within every event handler it is possible to check what was the target element of the event.
