<div class="intro">

<p>This example demonstrates how to respond to DOM events from a Node instance.</p>

<p>Clicking one of the elements will report some event details.</p>

</div>

<div class="example">

{{>events-source}}

</div>

<h2>Setting up the HTML</h2>

<p>First we need some HTML to work with.</p>

```

<div id="container">

<p>

<em>emphasis</em> <code>code</code> <strong>strong</strong> <a>anchor</a>

<img src="{{{componentAssets}}}/images/birds.png" align="middle"/>

</p>

</div>

<div id="event-result">Click an element above to see its event data.</div>

```

<h2>Creating the Event Handler</h2>

<p>Next we'll create a handler to run when the event is fired. In our handler

we'll update the `#event-result` node with some data available through the event.</p>

```

var onClick = function(e) {

var type = e.type,

currentTarget = e.currentTarget, // #container

target = e.target; // #container or a descendant

Y.one('#event-result').setContent('<dl>' +

'<dt>Event Type: </dt>' +

'<dd>' + e.type + '</dd>' +

'<dt>Target Tag Name: </dt>' +

'<dd>' + target.get('tagName') + '</dd>' +

'<dt>Color of Target's Font: </dt>' +

'<dd class="dd-color" style="background-color:' + target.getStyle('color') + ';">' + '</dd>' +

'<dt>CurrentTarget Tag Name & Id: </dt>' +

'<dd>' + currentTarget.get('tagName') + '#' + currentTarget.get('id') + '</dd>' +

'</dl>');

};

```

<h2>Listening for Events</h2>

<p>We can assign our handler to the container of the objects by using the `Y.one`.

Clicking on any object in the container will bubble the event to the container.

We're using the 'on' method to subscribe to the click and dblclick events.</p>

```

Y.one('#container').on('click', onClick);

Y.one('#container').on('dblclick', onClick);

```
