JavaScript dblclick Event
The dblclick event in JavaScript is triggered when an element is double clicked by the user. This event can be used to perform certain actions on an element when it is double clicked.
Syntax
element.addEventListener('dblclick', function() {
// Code to be executed when the element is double clicked
});
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p ondblclick="myFunction()">Double click me</p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
alert("You double clicked the paragraph");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
When the user double clicks on the paragraph, an alert box will appear that says "You double clicked the paragraph".
Explanation
In the example above, we have defined a paragraph element with the ondblclick attribute set to myFunction(). This means that when the user double clicks on the paragraph, the myFunction() function will be called.
The myFunction() function simply displays an alert box with the text "You double clicked the paragraph".
