test if event handler is bound to an element in jQuery

I have a button with a fairly large script attached to it. I'm binding to this button like so:

 $(document).on( "click", '.basketSubmitter' , function(e) {

 ... stuff

 });

I can't pin it down, but sometimes the button looses it's binding = I click all I want and nothing happens. The buttons sitting left and right continue to work fine, so there must be something with the button being unbound somewhere. Script is large, so

Question:
Is there an easy way to list an elements binding or to detect when an element looses bindings in Jquery?

Thank!

  • You could try to use namespaced events to prevent canceling/unbinding the click event from somewhere else: http://api.jquery.com/on/#event-names – feeela Oct 18 '12 at 10:19
  • is it possibly due to errors thrown under certain conditions? look in console – charlietfl Oct 18 '12 at 10:52
  • @charlietfl: checked the console on Firebug and iPad - no errors. Strangely the binding is only "lost" on iPad... But if it was from some memory issue, no buttons should work. – frequent Oct 18 '12 at 11:00

This tool will help you to find out the binded events to any DOM element

http://www.sprymedia.co.uk/article/Visual+Event+2

It's good if you want to inspect the dom to find binded events..

Try namespacing your event. For eg click.myFunc

That can be used as 

$('.basketSubmitter').off('click.myFunc')on( "click.myFunc" , function(e) {

 ... stuff

 });
