Document: securitypolicyviolation event

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since August 2016.

The securitypolicyviolation event is fired when a Content Security Policy is violated.

The event is fired on the document when there is a violation of the document CSP policy (and may also bubble from elements in the document).

This event bubbles to the Window object, and is composed.

Note: You should add the handler for this event to a top level object (i.e. Window or Document). While the property exists in HTML elements, you can't assign a handler to the property until the elements have been loaded, by which time this event will already have fired.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

js
addEventListener("securitypolicyviolation", (event) => {});

onsecuritypolicyviolation = (event) => {};

Event type

Examples

The code below shows how you might add an event handler function using the onsecuritypolicyviolation event handler property or addEventListener() on the Document.

js
document.onsecuritypolicyviolation = (e) => {
  // Handle SecurityPolicyViolationEvent e here
};

document.addEventListener("securitypolicyviolation", (e) => {
  // Handle SecurityPolicyViolationEvent e here
});
