My code only works in Firefox. Why is this?
HTML:
<select id="selecter">
<option>one</option>
<option>two</option>
<option>three</option>
</select>
Javascript:
$(function() {
$(document).on("mouseover", "#selecter option",function(){
alert(1)
});
});
I'm curious why IE and chrome don't fire a mouseover event. See this JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/yT6Y5/72/ (Works perfectly in Firefox.)
How can I get IE and Chrome to fire a mouseover event?
The problem is that browsers render dropdowns differently. Chrome is rendering it not as an HTML component but as a native GUI one. That can't have hover handlers associated to it from JS.
If you want to make sure it works on all browsers either don't use a dropdown or get a script to create a dropdown that uses HTML elements
It seems, no events are actually fired when you hover over an option in IE & chrome,
At best should should bind on the change event.
$(function() {
$("#selecter").change(function(){
alert(1);
});
});
maybe you should use , a different approach to bind the event
$(function() {
$("#selecter").mouseover(function(){
alert(1)
});
});
