jQuery 1.3 Beta 1 - live()!

Published: 2009-01-02

There are some pretty nice things in the latest beta release of jquery but the live() method is my favorite. Event handling has been limited to existing DOM elements without implicitly 're-attaching' the listeners in the callback, the live() method provides a much tidier way to do this:

$("#div.listen-to-me").live("click", my_function);

The live() method is called once and work for all exisitng elements and subsequent elements added to the DOM dynamically. More info here http://blog.jquery.com/2008/12/22/help-test-jquery-13-beta-1/
