What is "e" in onChange(e)?

Question

I've been using it for quite some time but i still don't know - what is the e object you have access to when passing it over to onChange or onSubmit?

Just log it to your console and you will see exactly what it is. — Sebastian Speitel, Nov 14 '18 at 20:10

It depends. Generally it's information about the event.

For onsubmit and onchange it conforms to the Event interface.

For onclick it's a MouseEvent.

You can look up the specifics on MDN.

The last time I dupevoted and answered the question I was told that it would be unfair to other answerers, just saying ... – Jonas Wilms Nov 14 '18 at 20:13

@JonasWilms Generally speaking I think that questions should *not* be answered if they are duplicates. That said, Daniel had answered this *before* closing it. While it may or may not be the case, I saw that he closed it shortly after I flagged it as a dupe, so he may not have realized it was a dupe when answering. I suppose the follow-up question would be "Should I delete my correct/good answer to a duplicate question after it's been closed?" – Tyler Roper Nov 14 '18 at 20:17
