How can I trigger the Jquery .on() function when the mouse button is pressed, instead of when it is released.

The Jquery code $(element).on("click", selector, handler) , will trigger the handler function after the mouse button is released from the selected element. Is there a way to trigger the event when the mouse button is pressed?

You can use .mousedown()

$(document).off("mousedown","#ID").on("mousedown","#ID", function(){
...
});

You can use the .mousedown() Function to achieve what you want:

$( "#target" ).mousedown(function(){});

Or you can use the .on() function and pass 'mousedown' as the action:

$( "#target" ).on('mousedown', function(){});
