How to use event capturing concept in jQuery this._on();

Question

I am using jQuery this._on() function for binding mouse event and I would like to use event capturing concept in this._on().

this._on($("#myId"), "mousedown", callMouseDown);

callMouseDown: function (e) {
    //Mouse down event
},

Anyone can help me, here how to apply event capturing concept (parent to child).

Thanks, Bharathi.

`this._on` is that jQuery? What is `this`? `_on` should be `on`. `$(this.object)` or `$(this)` — Tushar, Oct 22 '15 at 04:49
this is a scope value and when i bind mouse event using this._on, i will get my scope (this) in callMouseDown method instead of that element scope — Bharathi, Oct 22 '15 at 05:07

Use this to access your method.

this._on($("#myId"), "mousedown", this.callMouseDown);

callMouseDown: function (e) {
    //Mouse down event
},

UPDATE:

jQuery events does not support event capturing. But it supports event bubbling.

I am not asking about how to access the method. In JavaScript event binding, we have used two concepts bubbling and capturing concept using addEventListener(). Default option is bubbling concept applied. if you set true to the argument, it will work capturing concept. I need to use this using in Jquery as like Javascript – Bharathi Oct 22 '15 at 05:19
