javascript - Jquery event chaining

Question

Based on this question

I don't want to litter my ready stuff waiting for a "click event" AND a "change event" AND a "mouseover event" I want to have all that stuff in a single function or event.

Is is possible to chain the events together. I want to capture not only a keyup, but also a click or a change in case the user isn't on the keyboard.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function () {
    setMaxLength();
    $("textarea.checkMax").keyup(function(){ checkMaxLength(this.id); } );
    $("textarea.checkMax").mouseover(function(){ checkMaxLength(this.id); } );
});
</script>

This works

$(document).ready( function () {
    setMaxLength(); 
    $("textarea.checkMax").bind("click mouseover keyup change", function(){checkMaxLength(this.id); } )
});

I think you are looking for bind. Bind can wire multiple events to the same function using a single call instead of using a chain:

$("textarea.checkMax").bind("keyup mouseover", checkMaxLength);
