Quick Reference
The event.type property returns the event type that was triggered.
$('p').on('click dblclick', function(event) {
$('div').html('The triggering event was: ' + event.type);
});
Note
It is generally good practice to place your jQuery code/function inside the document load function so that the action takes place ONLY after the document has finished loading. This ensures that all of the page elements that you may be selecting are in place before running the code on them.
