What are the advantages of using the addEventListener() method instead of the other two methods to specify an event handler??

What will be an ideal response?


One drawback of specifying event handlers with HTML attributes is they require developers to place JavaScript code within HTML code. Just as developers generally avoid using inline CSS styles to keep HTML and CSS code separate, most developers prefer not to mix HTML and JavaScript code in the same file. Instead, they maintain separate HTML and JavaScript files.When you specify an event handler as a property value for the object representing an HTML element, you can assign only one event handler per event. In more complex code, you might want to specify several event handlers to fire in response to a given event.?Using addEventListener() lets you keep your JavaScript code separate from your HTML, and allows you to specify more than one event handler for a given event on a single element.
