[jQuery] Re: triggering a custom event is not working

[Brandon Aaron]

Hey Jeff,

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you on this. I just ran this
code in Firebug on my blog and everything worked good.

$('h1').bind('mouseover', function(e) { $(this).trigger('myEvent');
}).bind('myEvent', function(e) { console.log(e.type); });

Make sure you are using the latest version of jQuery which is 1.1.3.1.

If you can, post up an example page that exhibits the problem. Did you get a
js error in your page?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to bind a custom event and then use trigger() to trigger it,
but it's not working for me.

Here's my code, does anyone see any issues?

Currently it's logging 'mouseout' but not 'my Event' as I mouse over my
table cells.

           $(o).mouseout( function(event) {
                console.log('mouseout');
                $(event.target).trigger('myEvent');
            }).bind("myEvent",function(event) {
                console.log('my Event');
            });


Any help is appreciated!!
