Does jQuery automatically remove attached even handlers from objects when I remove them?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1617135

Question

Well my interest is whether jQuery does remove attached event handlers from the DOM object and all it's descendants (if they got some event handlers attached as well), if I just remove that DOM object with jQuery('.selector').remove()?

Was it helpful?

Solution

jQuery docs: "Note that this function starting with 1.2.2 will also remove all event handlers and internally cached data."
