jQuery 1.9 .live() is not a function

Question

I recently updated jQuery from 1.8 to 2.1. I suddenly discovered that the .live() stops working.
I get the error TypeError: $(...).live is not a funct

Answer 1

I tend not to use the .on() syntax, if not necessary. For example you can migrate easier like this:

old:

$('.myButton').live('click', function);

new:

$('.myButton').click(function)
