This won't work for every javascript library of course but for jQuery I believe you can use the internal .data() functions to find the handlers.
http://docs.jquery.com/Internals/jQuery.data#elem var elem = $("a").get(0); var handlers = jQuery.data(elem, "events") || {}; var clicks = handlers["click"]; for (var h in clicks) { clicks[h].call(elem); } that I think (totally untested) would call all the event handlers attached by jquery. Dunno if it helps but it was interesting looking in to it. :) David On Nov 27, 9:44 am, "Glen Lipka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a script that decorates all links with an extra tracking click > handler. > First version: $("a").click()... > > However, I would also like to find elements that have an onclick handler > already on them. > Second version: $("a,[onclick]").click > > But how could I detect all elements that have onclick handlers, even if they > were added after the fact using a javascript library? > > Thanks, > > Glen
