JavaScript dblclick event

The dblclick event generates an event on double click the element. The event fires when an element is clicked twice in a very short span of time. We can also use the JavaScript's addEventListener() method to fire the double click event.

In HTML, we can use the ondblclick attribute to create a double click event.
