Having both mousedown/mouseup and dblclick in jQuery

Question

Whenever a mousedown or mouseup handler is attached to an element the dblclick cannot be attached (won't work if attached), though this seems fair enough is there any way to reinstate a dblclick functionality without rewriting it from scratch (sigh...) Or am I missing something about events propagation?

Answer 1

It works - place this code in Firebug on this very page and you'll see it working (try double clicking on the text of your question):

($('.post-text')
    .mousedown(function () { console.log('down'); })
    .mouseup(function () { console.log('up'); })
    .dblclick(function () { console.log('dbclick'); }));

Don't have Firebug? Go grab it, I'll wait!

Answer 2

Your mousedown and mouseup cannot:

1. do e.stopPropagate etc.
2. return false

and it should work if Your code doesn't have a conflict between them methods
