jQuery multiple events to trigger the same function

Solution 1:

You can use .on() to bind a function to multiple events:

$('#element').on('keyup keypress blur change', function(e) {
    // e.type is the type of event fired
});

Or just pass the function as the parameter to normal event functions:

var myFunction = function() {
   ...
}

$('#element')
    .keyup(myFunction)
    .keypress(myFunction)
    .blur(myFunction)
    .change(myFunction)

Solution 2:

As of jQuery 1.7, the .on() method is the preferred method for attaching event handlers to a document. For earlier versions, the .bind() method is used for attaching an event handler directly to elements.

$(document).on('mouseover mouseout',".brand", function () {
  $(".star").toggleClass("hovered");
})

Solution 3:

I was looking for a way to get the event type when jQuery listens for several events at once, and Google put me here.

So, for those interested, event.type is my answer :

$('#element').on('keyup keypress blur change', function(event) {
    alert(event.type); // keyup OR keypress OR blur OR change
});
