Jquery Selector that search for events

Question

I need to select all elements, that has binded "click" event? Is there such selector exists?

Answer 1

No. You can iterate over all elements and check if they have an event binding. But that wouldn't be very efficient unless you have a clue what kind of elements would have that event binding so you can narrow the search.

Answer 2

It is not supported natively by jQuery, but you can write your own custom selector using hasEvent plugin :

jQuery.expr[":"].click = "jQuery(a).hasEvent('click');";

$("a:click").doStuff();

EDIT :

There is also the Event Bound Selector plugin which is more complete and works out of the box, but is also bigger.
