using 3 jquery events code example

Example 1: on click jquery

$( "#dataTable tbody tr" ).on( "click", function() {
  console.log( $( this ).text() );

// There are quite a few abstracted versions of the following
$('element').on('event', function() {
	// Do something
});

// Where 'event' is something such as 'click', 'hover' etc

// They are abstracted as seen below
$('element').click(function(){
	// Do something
});
$('element').hover(function(){
	// Do something
});

// etc...
