<h3 name="handleEvent()">handleEvent()</h3>
<p>This method is called whenever an event occurs of the type for which the <code>EventListener</code> interface was registered.</p>
<pre class="eval">void handleEvent(
  in nsIDOMEvent event
);
</pre>
<h6 name="Parameters">Parameters</h6>
<dl> <dt><code>event</code></dt> <dd>The event to register.</dd>

<h3 name="Remarks">Remarks</h3>
<p>As the interface is marked with the <span class="nowiki">[function]</span> flag, all JavaScript <a href="/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function" title="en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Global_Objects/Function">Function</a> objects automatically implement this interface. Calling the {{ manch("handleEvent") }} method on such an implementation automatically invokes the function.</p>
