<p><strong><a href="http://dev.jquery.com/changeset/5990">jQuery: Changeset 5990</a></strong></p> “Added a new liveQuery/event delegation hybrid method”. Lets you add events that continue to work as new elements are dynamically appended to the DOM, e.g. $(’div p.foo’).live(’click’, fn). Works by adding an event handler to the root document element itself and relying on event bubbling. I have to admit I preferred the earlier proposal of $(’div’).delegate(’p.foo’..), which feels like it should have much better performance—anyone know of a good plugin that supports this? <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/delegate">delegate</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/events">events</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/javascript">javascript</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/jquery">jquery</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/livequery">livequery</a></p>
