Naming jQuery Functions

Question

$(".song").live('click', function songClick() {
    //do stuff
});

Can you name a function like above and then call it at a later point? I tried, but it didn't work. Do I have to pass an event to it?

Answer 1

Note for reference's sake:

The live method was removed in version 9. Anyone coming across this question now should use on() instead. But otherwise, should work the same as above answers.

function songClick() {
//code
}

$(".song").on('Click', songClick);

If you only want the event handler to run once you can also use one() as well.
