+
+<p><code>EventTarget</code> is an interface implemented by objects that can receive events and may have listeners for them.</p>
+
+<p>{{domxref("Element")}}, {{domxref("document")}}, and {{domxref("window")}} are the most common event targets, but other objects can be event targets too, for example {{domxref("XMLHttpRequest")}}, {{domxref("AudioNode")}}, {{domxref("AudioContext")}}, and others.</p>
+
+<p>Many event targets (including elements, documents, and windows) also support setting <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/DOM/Events/Event_handlers">event handlers</a> via <code>on...</code> properties and attributes.</p>
