The jQuery event.type is very useful when you want to detect the nature of an event on an Element and determine if it was a click, doubleclick, mousemove, mouseenter and so on. Here’s how to detect the Event Type on an Element with minimal code in jQuery
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
<title>Detect any event</title>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.someDiv').bind('click dblclick mousedown mouseenter mouseleave',
detectEvent);
function detectEvent(e) {
$('.para').text('Current Event is: ' + e.type);
}
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.someDiv
{
height:400px;
width:400px;
background-color:Gray;
}
.para
{
background-color:Black;
color:White;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div class="someDiv"/>
<p class="para" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
To test the functionality, run the piece of code shown above and perform a click, doubleclick, mousemove, mouseenter and so on on the Gray area
