Events

The following table contains all the event methods supported by jQuery as listed in jQuery’s

offi cial documentation at http://www.jquery.com.

All the event methods return the jQuery object.

METHOD DESCRIPTION

PAGE LOAD

ready(function)

function(event)

Attaches a function that is executed when the DOM

is completely loaded; that is, all markup, CSS, and

JavaScript are loaded, but not necessarily images.

EVENT HANDLING

bind(events, function)

string events

function(event)

Attaches a function that is executed when the event

occurs. Multiple events can be specifi ed in the event

argument; if you specify multiple events, each event must

be separated with a single space.

The on() method is preferred over bind() in jQuery 1.7

or later.

bind(events[, data]

[, function])

string events

object data

function(event)

The bind() method accepts an optional data argument.

The data argument is an object that allows you to pass

custom data to the event, which is available in the event

handler, in the event argument as event.data.

The on() method is preferred over bind() in jQuery 1.7

or later.
