Question

Currently I have

$("#string").bind("keyup keypress paste mouseup", function () {

});

and I ‘d like to replace it with .on() but it doesn’t seem on() accepts many events at the same time?

I tried this:

$("#string").on("keyup", "keypress", "paste", "mouseup", function () {

});

and this:

$("#string").on("keyup keypress paste mouseup", function () {

});

The documentation states that you can definitely use .on() with a space seperated list of events to bind multiple events: link. Which means that your code should work like this:

$("#string").on("keyup keypress paste mouseup", function () { 
    alert("hello!");
}); 

Here’s a quick JSfiddle… Mouse up definitely works – can’t confirm the other event types though (EDIT Just tried all your events and they definitely work – see the jsFiddle)…
