Element: dblclick event

The dblclick event fires when a pointing device button (such as a mouse's primary button) is double-clicked; that is, when it's rapidly clicked twice on a single element within a very short span of time.

dblclick fires after two click events (and by extension, after two pairs of mousedown and mouseup events).

Examples

This example toggles the size of a card when you double click on it.

JavaScript

const card = document.querySelector('aside');

card.addEventListener('dblclick', function (e) {
  card.classList.toggle('large');
});

HTML

<aside>
  <h3>My Card</h3>
  <p>Double click to resize this object.</p>
</aside>

CSS

aside {
  background: #fe9;
  border-radius: 1em;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 1em;
  transform: scale(.9);
  transform-origin: 0 0;
  transition: transform .6s;
  user-select: none;
}

.large {
  transform: scale(1.3);
}
