jQuery event handling takes care of many of these browser quirks. You can focus on writing code that runs on most supported browsers. jQuery's support for browser events is simple and intuitive. For example, this code listens for a user to click on any button element on the page:
$('button').click(function(event) {
console.log('Mouse button clicked');
});Just like the click() method, there are several other helper methods to cover almost all kinds of browser event. The following helpers exist:
