# Mousedown Method
|
||
|
|
The mousedown event occurs when the left mouse button is pressed.
|
||
|
|
To trigger the mousedown event for the selected element, use this syntax:
|
||
|
|
```$(selector).mousedown();```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most of the time, however, the mousedown method is used with a function attached to the mousedown event.
|
||
|
|
Here's the syntax:
|
||
|
|
```$(selector).mousedown(function);```
|
||
|
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$(#example).mousedown(function(){
|
||
|
|
alert("Example was clicked");
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
That code will make the page alert "Example was clicked" when #example is clicked.
