Added jQuery 1.7+ method
Feb 13, 2014 at 16:17 comment added Matt Browne @tomdemuyt In jQuery, events are now stored in an internal data array rather than being accessible via .data('events') like they were before. To access the internal event data, use $._data(elem, 'events'). Note that this function is marked "for internal use only" in the jQuery source, so no promises that it will always work in the future, but I believe it's worked ever since jQuery 1.7 and still works.
Jan 12, 2014 at 9:06 comment added Rolf Why are there so many ways of attaching events and so many places they can be saved? It's not really helping us programmers, is it?
Jan 12, 2013 at 18:24 comment added Aaron What about event listeners that aren't on the actual element like the following: $(parentElement).on(event, 'myElement', handler);?
May 30, 2012 at 18:26 comment added tomdemuyt @Jan, this does not seem to work for jQuery 1.7.2, is there a different approach for that version ?
Apr 25, 2012 at 17:23 comment added John If someone is sloppy they can create a monitoring service. If they have good practices they simply won't need to create one. Same listeners overwrite the old versions of themselves.
Apr 25, 2012 at 1:23 comment added Crescent Fresh @John: thanks for the comment. You have an example of "real JavaScript" to fetch listeners previously added via addEventListener?
Oct 18, 2011 at 23:00 comment added Nickolay On "Method B" (addEventListener) here's an answer regarding the status of the enumeration facilities for handlers registered with pure DOM Events API: stackoverflow.com/questions/7810534/…

Sep 14, 2009 at 18:35 comment added Keith Bentrup Thx for updating this. It's unfortunate that you have to iterate thru each type of handler.
