How to detect click but not drag using jQuery?

Similar to this: Can you detect "dragging" in jQuery?

You can use mousedown and mouseup to detect whether there was a drag.

 $(function() {    var isDragging = false;    $(".conteiner")    .mousedown(function() {        $(window).mousemove(function() {            isDragging = true;            $(window).unbind("mousemove");        });    })    .mouseup(function() {        var wasDragging = isDragging;        isDragging = false;        $(window).unbind("mousemove");        if (!wasDragging) {            $(this).selection();        }    });  });

Found better way, since I need to detect drag to select text this works better:

var get_selected_text = (function() {    if (window.getSelection || document.getSelection) {        return function() {            var selection = (window.getSelection || document.getSelection)();            if (selection.text) {                return selection.text;            } else {                return selection.toString();            }        };    } else if (document.selection && document.selection.type !== "Control") {        return function() {            return document.selection.createRange().text;        };    }    return function() {        return '';    };})();self.mouseup(function() {    if (get_selected_text() === '') {       // click not drag    }});

Type annotated version of the OP's solution for Closure Compiler in Advanced mode

const get_selected_text = (/** @return {function():string} */ function() {    if (window.getSelection || document.getSelection) {        return function () {            const selection = /** @type {function():Object<string,?>} */ (window.getSelection || document.getSelection)();            if (typeof selection['text'] === "string") {                return selection['text'];            } else {                return selection.toString();            }        };    } else if (document.selection && document.selection.type !== "Control") {        return function () {            return document.selection.createRange().text;        };    }    return function () {        return '';    };})();
