JQuery on () method, jqueryon Method
The jQuery on () method is officially recommended to bind events.
$(selector).on(event,childSelector,data,function,map)
Several common methods that were extended previously were.
bind() $("p").bind("click",function(){ alert("The paragraph was clicked."); }); $("p").on("click",function(){ alert("The paragraph was clicked."); });delegate() $("#div1").on("click","p",function(){ $(this).css("background-color","pink"); });
$("#div2").delegate("p","click",function(){ $(this).css("background-color","pink"); });live() $("#div1").on("click",function(){ $(this).css("background-color","pink"); });
$("#div2").live("click",function(){ $(this).css("background-color","pink"); });
The preceding three methods are not recommended after jQuery1.8. The live () method has been canceled at 1.9. Therefore, we recommend that you use the on () method.
Tip: If you need to remove the method bound to on (), you can use the off () method for processing.
$(document).ready(function(){ $("p").on("click",function(){ $(this).css("background-color","pink"); }); $("button").click(function(){ $("p").off("click"); });});
Tip: If your event only requires one operation, you can use the one () method.
$(document).ready(function(){ $("p").one("click",function(){ $(this).animate({fontSize:"+=6px"}); });});
Trigger () Binding
$(selector).trigger(event,eventObj,param1,param2,...)
$(document).ready(function(){ $("input").select(function(){ $("input").after(" Text marked!"); }); $("button").click(function(){ $("input").trigger("select"); });});
Bind multiple events to the same function
$(document).ready(function(){ $("p").on("mouseover mouseout",function(){ $("p").toggleClass("intro"); });});
Bind multiple events to different functions
$(document).ready(function(){ $("p").on({ mouseover:function(){$("body").css("background-color","lightgray");}, mouseout:function(){$("body").css("background-color","lightblue");}, click:function(){$("body").css("background-color","yellow");} });});
Bind custom events
$(document).ready(function(){ $("p").on("myOwnEvent", function(event, showName){ $(this).text(showName + "! What a beautiful name!").show(); }); $("button").click(function(){ $("p").trigger("myOwnEvent",["Anja"]); });});
Transfer Data to Functions
function handlerName(event) { alert(event.data.msg);}$(document).ready(function(){ $("p").on("click", {msg: "You just clicked me!"}, handlerName)});
Applicable to uncreated Elements
$(document).ready(function(){ $("div").on("click","p",function(){ $(this).slideToggle(); }); $("button").click(function(){ $("<p>This is a new paragraph.</p>").insertAfter("button"); });});
