Update: This is pretty outdated now. I recommend using $.on() now since $.live() is deprecated. I am unsure if events are still stored in the same way.

If you’ve worked with jQuery’s live() method, you’ve probably asked yourself how you can view all currently bound events. I banged my head around for a while before I noticed this little gem in the jQuery live() documentation:

.live() binds a special handler to the root of the DOM tree

jQuery stores all event data in the .data("events") object on a DOM element. So in this case, we can just call $(document) (the DOM root) to get what we want:

$(document).data("events")

And that’s all there is to it.
