Element: DOMActivate event
Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes.

The DOMActivate event is fired at an element when it becomes active, such as when it is clicked on using the mouse or a keypress is used to navigate to it.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener().
addEventListener("DOMActivate", (event) => { })
Note:
There is no onDOMActivate event handler property for this event.
Event type
Examples
HTML
<button>Click</button>
JavaScript
const button = document.querySelector("button");
button.addEventListener("DOMActivate", (event) => {
button.textContent = `Click count: ${event.detail}`;
});
Result
Note that detail of the DOMActivate event may have browser-specific behavior. It may either always be 0, or have similar behavior as the click event's detail (i.e., indicating the number of consecutive clicks).
