HTML DOM removeEventListener() Method
The DOM removeEventListener() method removes an event handler from an HTML element in an HTML document.
Syntax
Following is the syntax −
document.open(event,function,useCapture);
Here, event represent the event name, function specifies the function to remove and useCapture takes either true or false value.
Where true represent removes event handler from capturing phase and false represent removes event handler from bubbling phase.
