DOM Events, in the sidebar, should include "change" as an event, linking to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/change

There are other pages missing "change" in the sidebar as well, such as https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener

Context: change

Strictly speaking, change is part of the HTML DOM, the specific DOM for HTML (like there is a SVG DOM, specific DOM for SVG).

For the moment, we draw the limit by where the specs put it: we put under DOM Events, events defined in a DOM-related spec. We put under HTML-DOM, events related to the numerous HTML APIs and defined in an HTML spec.

This distinction is a bit arbitrary though. I'm afraid of having all the events of all the APIs sneaking it, the sidebars would become unusable.

Ooops, clicked too early.

I meant:

Context: change raised by form-related elements.

Hiya,

I am currently looking for bugs to fix as part of my Open Source Development module at Coventry University and I am interested in developing this bug.

Please could you assign this task to me and give me more information.

This is my first bug fix and any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
