Syntax

function is the name of a user-defined function, without the () suffix or any parameters, or an anonymous function declaration, such as

element.ondblclick = function() { console.log("ondblclick event detected!"); };

Example

<html>

<head>
<title>ondblclick event example</title>

<script type="text/javascript">

function initElement()
{
  var p = document.getElementById("foo");
  // NOTE: log(); or log(param); will NOT work here.
  // Must be a reference to a function name, not a function call.
  p.ondblclick = log;
};

function log()
{
  console.log("ondblclick Event detected!")
}
</script>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
#foo {
  border: solid blue 2px;
}

</style>
</head>

<body onload="initElement()">
<span id="foo">My Event Element</span>
<p>double-click on the above element.</p>
