Where can I find a list of possible events for an HTML element?

Question

I'd like to know the possible events that can come from an HTML span element. Is there some documentation somewhere for each HTML element that says what events it can trigger and how?

Answer 1

The list below is the closest that I have found.. Not sure if it covers all of them!! Notice that there is no onChange event handler for the span tag. Instead, you will have to use the MutationObserver to watch for changes being made to the DOM tree.
