Im new to JavaScript event handling, I would like to trigger an event upon mousemove and left-click on a div element. My current implementation is to check that e.which == 1
when I trigger the mousemove event function. However, I have read that the e.which property is now deprecated (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/which). My code:
div.addEventListener("mousemove", myEventFunction)
function myEventFunction(e){
if (e.which == 1){
//do something
}
}
Is there any alternative to perform this operation?
You can use event.button
if it is gonna be a mouse event.
The
MouseEvent.button
read-only property indicates which button was pressed on the mouse to trigger the event.
function myEventFunction(e) {
e = e || window.event;
if ("buttons" in e) {
return button;
}
var button = e.which || e.button;
return button;
}
The above function returns the button
value.
