JQuery mouseup outside window – possible?

you can not track mouse events outside the browser window with javascript.

as explained here you can only check if the mouse leaves the window.

You can maybe catch the mouseout event and then call your mouseup function from there:

$(window).mouseout(function() { $(item).mouseup(); });

You actually can get the mouseup outside of the browser's window.

It worked for me at least.

$(function(){
    $(window).mouseup(function(){
       alert('mouse up'); 
    });
});
