The jQuery event.type is an inbuilt property that is used to return which event type is started. 

Syntax:

event.type

Parameter: It does not accept any parameter because it is a property, not a function. 

Example 1: This example shows the working of an event.type property.

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 
<head>
    <script src=
    </script>
    <!-- jQuery code to show the working of this property -->
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#div1").on("click dblclick mouseover mouseout",
                function (event) {
                    $(".div2").html("Event: " + event.type);
                });
        });
    </script>
    <style>
        #div1 {
            width: 230px;
            height: 100;
            display: block;
            padding: 25px;
            border: 2px solid green;
            font-size: 20px;
        }
 
        .div2 {
            width: 170px;
            margin: 10px;
            height: 50px;
            padding: 10px;
