So I am trying to determine whether its possible to listen for events added with jQuery using vanilla JS. I found this question:
Listen to jQuery event without jQuery
which definitely answers it for version 1 of jQuery. How about version 3 however?
I have a fiddle that I have put together to test out, but I am unable to get the 1st submit to work with any version of jQuery. Am I missing something, or is the event model in jQuery 3 still not using the DOM event model?

Here is the code in the fiddle:
HTML:
<div id="div1">
<p>
This is div1. My event was added via jQuery and is listened for by vanilla JS.
</p>
<p>
Enter the number 2 to have the event fired.
</p>
<input type="text" id="input1" />
<button id="button1">
Submit
</button>
</div>
<div id="div2">
<p>
This is div2. My event was added via vanilla JS and is listened for by jQuery.
</p>
<p>
Enter the number 2 to have the event fired.
</p>
<input type="text" id="input2" />
<button id="button2">
Submit
</button>
</div>
JavaScript:
var $input1 = $("#input1");
var $input2 = $("#input2");
var input1 = document.getElementById("input1");
var input2 = document.getElementById("input2");
var event1 = "event1";
var event2 = "event2";
$("#button1").click(function() {
if (+$input1.val() == 2) {
$input1.trigger(event1, {message: "Event 1 triggered!"});
}
});
input1.addEventListener(event1, function(e) {
console.log("Event 1 triggered! message=" + e.detail.message);
});
$("#button2").click(function() {
if (+$input2.val() == 2) {
var event = new CustomEvent(event2, {detail: {message: "Event 2 triggered!"}});
input2.dispatchEvent(event);
}
});
$input2.on(event2, function(e) {
console.log("Event 2 fired, but I don't know how to get the message!");
});
