Question

Is there any way I can view the current method assigned to a selects change event.
I have tried.

$('#select').change()

but that just returns me the change event. I don’t really need to do this but would be very handy for debugging. Save me hunting through the code to find the method, this way I can simply search the text in the method and find the method quickly.

Answer 1

$('#select').data('events').change;

This will contain an array of objects, one per event handler.

If you’re sure there’s only one change event handler, you can access the function directly:

var theFunction = $('#select').data('events').change[0].handler;
