Checking if custom event is set

Question

$('#element').bind({
    specialEvent : function()
    {
        console.log(1);
    }
});

How do I check whether the element has the specialEvent event or not?

sorry but I didn't know you are using jQuery 1.8 - it was a change in this version (see the answer) — jwaliszko, Oct 22 '12 at 08:35

In jQuery 1.8 $(element).data('events') has been removed, but you can still get to the events data for debugging purposes via $._data(element, "events") - check this.

console.log($._data(element, 'events'));

try provide only the raw element id: $._data(element_id_without_quotes_nor_sharp, 'events'); http://jsfiddle.net/DHmVZ/1/ – jwaliszko Oct 22 '12 at 11:41
yep... for me too, I don't know if this is a bug or what – jwaliszko Oct 22 '12 at 12:19
