jQuery: $().click(fn) vs. $().bind('click',fn);
For what it's worth, from the jQuery source:
jQuery.each( ("blur,focus,load,resize,scroll,unload,click,dblclick," + "mousedown,mouseup,mousemove,mouseover,mouseout,mouseenter,mouseleave," + "change,select,submit,keydown,keypress,keyup,error").split(","), function(i, name){ // Handle event binding jQuery.fn[name] = function(fn){ return fn ? this.bind(name, fn) : this.trigger(name); };});So no, there's no difference -
$().click(fn)calls
$().bind('click',fn)
+1 for Matthew's answer, but I thought I should mention that you can also bind more than one event handler in one go using bind
$('#myDiv').bind('mouseover focus', function() { $(this).addClass('focus')});which is the much cleaner equivalent to:
var myFunc = function() { $(this).addClass('focus');};$('#myDiv') .mouseover(myFunc) .focus(myFunc);
There is one difference in that you can bind custom events using the second form that you have. Otherwise, they seem to be synonymous. See: jQuery Event Docs
