How to call a function using different events on bold text?

Question

JavaScript

For example, when clicking on bold text (i.e., one that is framed by <b></b>tags), this works:

$('#content').on('click', 'b', function() {  alert("Вы кликнули на жирном тексте")  });

With the rest of the events that I need - select, keydown - this does not roll (
Please tell me what is wrong)

Answer 1

The select event is sent to an element when the user makes a text selection inside it. This event is limited to <input type="text">fields and <textarea>boxes.

So the problem is that the event is not generated in principle and there is nothing you can do about it.

Answer 2

$('#content b').live('click', function() { alert("You clicked on bold text") });

Interest Ask. Not a complete solution, but it will help to find: Fiddle , where they determine the position of the cursor in an editable element with html tags.
