How do I learn if events are bound to an element using jquery?

I need a hasEvents() method like

var someBool = hasEvents($("#myelement"));

that returns true if there are some bound events to any of the element's event handlers.

From stackoverflow

• have you taken a look at the hasEvent() plugin? the code is pretty small:

  (function(A) {
      A.fn.hasEvent = function(C) {
         var B = this.data("events");
         return( B && B[C] )
      }
  }) (jQuery)
  

  for your specific purpose you could modify it slightly:

  (function($) {
      $.fn.hasEvents = function() {
          return new Boolean(this.data('events') );
      }
  }) (jQuery);
  
  $('#someDiv').click(function() {
      alert('new event');
  });
  
  $('#someDiv').hasEvents();      // true
  $('#someOtherDiv').hasEvents(); // false
