Can I find events bound on an element with jQuery?

by

In modern versions of jQuery, you would use the $._data method to find any events attached by jQuery to the element in question. Note, this is an internal-use only method:

// Bind up a couple of event handlers
$("#foo").on({
    click: function(){ alert("Hello") },
    mouseout: function(){ alert("World") }
});

// Lookup events for this particular Element
$._data( $("#foo")[0], "events" );

The result from $._data will be an object that contains both of the events we set (pictured below with the mouseout property expanded):

Console output for $._

Then in Chrome, you may right click the handler function and click “view function definition” to show you the exact spot where it is defined in your code.
