How to find event listeners on a DOM node when debugging or from the JavaScript code?

I have a page where some event listeners are attached to input boxes and select boxes. Is there a way to find out which event listeners are observing a particular DOM node and for what event?

Events are attached using:

  • Prototype's Event.observe ;
  • DOM's addEventListener ;
  • As element attribute element.onclick .

  • If you just need to inspect what's happening on a page, you might try the Visual Event bookmarklet.

    Update : Visual Event 2 available;


    It depends on how the events are attached. For illustration presume we have the following click handler:

    var handler = function() { alert('clicked!') };
    

    We're going to attach it to our element using different methods, some which allow inspection and some that don't.

    Method A) single event handler

    element.onclick = handler;
    // inspect
    alert(element.onclick); // alerts "function() { alert('clicked!') }"
    

    Method B) multiple event handlers

    if(element.addEventListener) { // DOM standard
        element.addEventListener('click', handler, false)
    } else if(element.attachEvent) { // IE
        element.attachEvent('onclick', handler)
    }
    // cannot inspect element to find handlers
    

    Method C): jQuery

    $(element).click(handler);
    
  • 1.3.x

    // inspect
    var clickEvents = $(element).data("events").click;
    jQuery.each(clickEvents, function(key, value) {
        alert(value) // alerts "function() { alert('clicked!') }"
    })
    
  • 1.4.x (stores the handler inside an object)

    // inspect
    var clickEvents = $(element).data("events").click;
    jQuery.each(clickEvents, function(key, handlerObj) {
        alert(handlerObj.handler) // alerts "function() { alert('clicked!') }"
        // also available: handlerObj.type, handlerObj.namespace
    })
    
  • (See jQuery.fn.data and jQuery.data )

    Method D): Prototype (messy)

    $(element).observe('click', handler);
    
  • 1.5.x

    // inspect
    Event.observers.each(function(item) {
        if(item[0] == element) {
            alert(item[2]) // alerts "function() { alert('clicked!') }"
        }
    })
    
  • 1.6 to 1.6.0.3, inclusive (got very difficult here)

    // inspect. "_eventId" is for < 1.6.0.3 while 
    // "_prototypeEventID" was introduced in 1.6.0.3
    var clickEvents = Event.cache[element._eventId || (element._prototypeEventID || [])[0]].click;
    clickEvents.each(function(wrapper){
        alert(wrapper.handler) // alerts "function() { alert('clicked!') }"
    })
    
  • 1.6.1 (little better)

    // inspect
    var clickEvents = element.getStorage().get('prototype_event_registry').get('click');
    clickEvents.each(function(wrapper){
        alert(wrapper.handler) // alerts "function() { alert('clicked!') }"
    })
    

  • Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi and Safari support getEventListeners(domElement) in their Developer Tools console.

    For majority of the debugging purposes, this could be used.

    Below is a very good reference to use it: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/commandline-api#geteventlistenersobject
