jQuery Mouse Events

When the users move the mouse pointer or click some element then the mouse event fires. To handle the mouse events here are some jQuery methods:

An event handler function is attached to an HTML element by the click() method and that function executes whenever the user click on the HTML element. Syntax:
$(selector).click()

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>  
<html>  
<head>  
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>  
<script>  
$(document).ready(function(){  
    $("p").click(function(){  
        $(this).hide();  
    });  
});  
</script>  
</head>  
<body>  
<h2> Heading 1</h2>  
<p>this is the first paragraph.</p>  
<p>Click me!</p>  
</body>  
</html>
