Substitution for jQuery live and on

Question

What is the correct way to get the same functionality of live(), and on() in jQuery < 1.5.

Answer 1

You need to use .delegate

 $( "table" ).delegate( "td", "click", function() {
  alert($(this).html());
});

Answer 2

As of jQuery 1.7, the .live() method is deprecated. Use .on() to attach event handlers. Users of older versions of jQuery should use .delegate() in preference to .live().

.on() is for jQuery version 1.7 and above. If you have an older version, use this:

$("#SomeId").live("click",function(){
    //do stuff;
});

But you can use live() because you are using jQuery<1.5

Answer 3

use delegate https://api.jquery.com/delegate/ works for jQuery 1.4.3+
