<ul onClick='pop()'>
<li id="1">1</li>
<li>2</li>
<li>3</li>
<li>4</li>
<li>5</li>
</ul>
function pop(event) {
let ul = document.getElementsByTagName('ul')[0];
console.log(window.event); //Valid mouseEvent
console.log(event) // Undefined
}
So the question is that why does logging event results to be undefined whereas window.event has a valid value ? Browser - chrome
Here's how to handle the event in an efficient way. You didn't pass any event to pop
.
function pop(event) {
let ul = document.getElementsByTagName('ul')[0];
console.log(window.event); //Valid mouseEvent
console.log(event) // Undefined
}
document.getElementById("yourid").addEventListener('click', pop);
<ul id="yourid">
<li id="1">1</li>
<li>2</li>
<li>3</li>
<li>4</li>
<li>5</li>
</ul>
