Event Handlers in jQuery

Event handlers in jQuery are functions that are executed in response to a specific event occurring on a selected element. These events can include mouse clicks, keyboard inputs, form submissions, and more.

To use event handlers in jQuery, you can select an element using jQuery selectors and then attach an event listener using one of the many available jQuery event methods such as .click(), .keyup(), .submit(), etc.

Here is an example of attaching a click event handler to a button element:

```html

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myButton").click(function() {
alert("Button clicked!");
});
});

```

In the above example, when the button with the ID myButton is clicked, an alert message will be displayed saying "Button clicked!". This demonstrates how event handlers can be used in jQuery to add interactivity to web pages.
