Question

is it possible to check the state of the mousebutton (pressed or released). I know that this is the purpose of the eventhandling in jquery, but I wonder if it would be possible to do a function if the button of the mouse isn’t pressed without the need of a change in position of the button (pressed to released or vice versa)?

Answer 1

Try below code, DEMO here

$(document).mousedown (function () {
    $('#result').text('Pressed');
}).mouseup (function () {
    $('#result').text('Released');
});
