The dblclick
event fires when a pointing device button (such as a mouse's primary button) is double-clicked; that is, when it's rapidly clicked twice on a single element within a very short span of time.
dblclick
fires after two click
events (and by extension, after two pairs of mousedown
and mouseup
events).
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener()
, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("dblclick", (event) => { })
ondblclick = (event) => { }
