Jquery - Get current event

Question

I know I can get the event, by passing it as a parameter of the function:

$(".selector").on("click", function(event) {


});

How can I get it if it is not a parameter of the function?

For instance,

$(".selector").on("click", function() {

// var event = ???

});

Answer 1

Even if the parameter is not declared, it is still passed to the function, so you can write:

$(".selector").on("click", function() {
    var evt = arguments[0];
});
