The mousedown event occurs when the mouse pointer is over an element, and the mouse button is pressed down.
Unlike the click event, the mousedown event only requires the button to be pressed down, not released.
The mousedown() method triggers the mousedown event, or if the function parameter is set, it specifies what happens when a mousedown event occurs.
Trigger the mousedown event for the selected element.
