jQuery check if onClick exists on element

Question

I found the way to check if event exists on element. But it's not work on the events which is not delegated by jQuery...

When I try,

$("a").data("events");

for this.

<a href="#" onClick="alert('Hello, World!')" />

It returned undefined.

Is there any way to check if onClick exists on elements with jQuery?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can do:

if ($('a').attr("onClick") != undefined) {}

Answer 2

I think the following things should also work

if ($(yourElement).attr("onClick").length != 0) {}

if ($(yourElement).attr("onClick").size() != 0) {}

Thanks
