$("#test1").click(function(){
some_function();
});

some_function();
})

how can i write this with one function?

Answer 1

You could put all the events in an array, and for each element add your function.

Example:

events=[ $("#test1").click, $("#test1").hover ];

for ( e in events ) {
  e( some_function );
};

Answer 2

$('#test1').bind('click hover', function() { some_function(); });

Answer 3

That seems messy. I believe this should work.

$('#test1').bind('click mouseenter mouseleave', some_function);

Remember that .hover() takes two functions as arguments, so having only one function could produce unexpected results.
