事件对象是有属性的，能够灵活的利用，对于处理一些问题很有帮助。
获取事件的类型：
<script> $(function(){ $("a").click(function(event) { alert(event.type);//获取事件类型 //return false;//阻止链接跳转 event.preventDefault(); }); }) </script>
通过event.type 获取事件的类型。
html部分代码如下：
<body> <a href='http://google.com'>click me .</a> </body>
下面是获取事件目标的属性值的代码：
<script> $(function(){ $("a[href=http://google.com]").click(function(event) { alert(event.target.href);//获取触发事件的<a>元素的href属性值 return false;//阻止链接跳转 }); }) </script>
可以获取到属性href的值为‘http://google.com’。
这里还有要注意的就是，这个选择器，很特别。a[href=http://google.com]表示a标签中属性值href为http://google.com的那个a标签。举一反三的话还有一些属性选择器。
比如：$("input[name!='newsletter']")表示input标签中name属性部位newsletter的。
$("input[name^='news']")表示查找所有name属性以news开始的input元素。
$("input[name$='letter']")表示查找所有name属性以letter结尾的input元素。
$("input[name*='man']")表示name属性中包含man的input元素。
还可以获取鼠标对应的坐标值，x与y。
代码如下：
<script> $(function(){ $("a").click(function(e) { alert("Current mouse position: " + e.pageX + ", " + e.pageY );//获取鼠标当前相对于页面的坐标 return false;//阻止链接跳转 }); }) </script>
这里传递的参数名不一定非要是event，可以是任意的名称，只要后面的相对应就可以。默认传入的值为event。如果你不给参数的话，就会默认传入一个叫event的参数。
which属性可以获取相应的事件对应的值。which 属性指示按了哪个键或按钮。
<script> $(function(){ $("a").mousedown(function(e){ alert(e.which) // 1 = 鼠标左键 left; 2 = 鼠标中键; 3 = 鼠标右键 return false;//阻止链接跳转 }) }) </script>
关于如何得到一个键在Javascript中的Keycode值，可以参考： keycode 0 = keycode 1 = keycode 2 = keycode 3 = keycode 4 = keycode 5 = keycode 6 = keycode 7 = keycode 8 = BackSpace BackSpace keycode 9 = Tab Tab keycode 10 =

以上是js中的键值参考，其中比较重要的有13（enter），32（空格），27（ESC），16（Shift），17（Ctrl），18（Alt）。
更多的值可以通过下面的jQuery来获取：
<script> $(function(){ $("input").keyup(function(e){//获取keyup时间的值 alert(e.which); }) }) </script>
