Question

How do determine which action or event is taking place when you have the following code

$('#mydiv').on('click mousedown mousemove', function(event) { //<--multiple event
    if (action is mousedown) {

    }
    else if(action is mousemove){

    }
    else{
        //mouse click
    }
});

jsFiddle example welcomed.

Answer 1

event.type will get the event type as a string:

$('#mydiv').on('click mousedown mousemove', function(event) {
    switch(event.type) {
        case 'click':
                //do something on click
            break;
        case 'mousedown':
                //do something on mousedown
            break;
        case 'mousemove':
                //do something on mousemove 
            break;

       .....etc.
    }

});

You can also just do:

$('#mydiv').on(
   click: function() {
        //do something on click
   },
   mousedown: function() {
       //do something on mousedown
   },
   mousemove: function() {
      //do something on mousemove
   }
});
