JavaScript attaches event listeners directly to the DOM elements. Instead of using `onclick` in the HTML file, developers use JavaScript to listen for clicks behind the scenes. This keeps the HTML file clean and strictly focused on structure.

Key Points
- `addEventListener()` attaches an event to an element.
- You can attach multiple events to the same element.
- It keeps JavaScript completely separate from HTML.
- `removeEventListener()` removes the event listener later.
