Research direction

Start with event-basics.md and locate the deprecated .click(), .focus(), blur(), and .change() shorthand methods. Update the examples to use the proposed event-binding approach, then review the rendered page for consistency. Done means the listed deprecated methods are removed from this page; searching other pages can establish whether the scope should expand.

Description

Problem

The event-basics.md page still uses the deprecated .click(), .focus(), blur() and .change() shorthand methods.

Proposal

These methods can be updated to use .on("click") for consistency with jQuery 3.0+.
