The pointerup
event is fired when a pointer is no longer active. Remember that it is possible to get a pointercancel
event instead.
This behavior is different from mouseup
events. When using a physical mouse, mouseup
events fire whenever any button on a mouse is released. pointerup
events fire only upon the last button release; previous button releases, while other buttons are held down, don't fire pointerup
events.
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener()
, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("pointerup", (event) => { })
onpointerup = (event) => { }
Event type Event properties
This interface inherits properties from MouseEvent
and Event
.
PointerEvent.altitudeAngle
Read only Experimental
Represents the angle between a transducer (a pointer or stylus) axis and the X-Y plane of a device screen.
PointerEvent.azimuthAngle
Read only Experimental
Represents the angle between the Y-Z plane and the plane containing both the transducer (a pointer or stylus) axis and the Y axis.
PointerEvent.persistentDeviceId
Read only Experimental
A unique identifier for the pointing device generating the PointerEvent
.
PointerEvent.pointerId
Read only
A unique identifier for the pointer causing the event.
PointerEvent.width
Read only
The width (magnitude on the X axis), in CSS pixels, of the contact geometry of the pointer.
PointerEvent.height
Read only
The height (magnitude on the Y axis), in CSS pixels, of the contact geometry of the pointer.
PointerEvent.pressure
Read only
The normalized pressure of the pointer input in the range 0
to 1
, where 0
and 1
represent the minimum and maximum pressure the hardware is capable of detecting, respectively.
PointerEvent.tangentialPressure
Read only
The normalized tangential pressure of the pointer input (also known as barrel pressure or cylinder stress) in the range -1
to 1
, where 0
is the neutral position of the control.
PointerEvent.tiltX
Read only
The plane angle (in degrees, in the range of -90
to 90
) between the YâZ plane and the plane containing both the pointer (e.g., pen stylus) axis and the Y axis.
PointerEvent.tiltY
Read only
The plane angle (in degrees, in the range of -90
to 90
) between the XâZ plane and the plane containing both the pointer (e.g., pen stylus) axis and the X axis.
PointerEvent.twist
Read only
The clockwise rotation of the pointer (e.g., pen stylus) around its major axis in degrees, with a value in the range 0
to 359
.
PointerEvent.pointerType
Read only
Indicates the device type that caused the event (mouse, pen, touch, etc.).
PointerEvent.isPrimary
Read only
Indicates if the pointer represents the primary pointer of this pointer type.
Using addEventListener()
:
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.addEventListener("pointerup", (event) => {
console.log("Pointer up");
});
Using the onpointerup
event handler property:
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.onpointerup = (event) => {
console.log("Pointer up");
};
