Consider this example
$('#items').delegate('li', 'click', function() {
$(this).parent().append('New Element');
});
By passing a DOM element as the context of our selector, we can make Live() behave (almost) the same way that delegate() does. It attaches the handler to the context, not the document - which is the default context. The code below is equivalent to the delegate() version shown above.
$("li", $("#items")[0]).live("click", function() {
$(this).parent().append("New Element");
});

But, you'd better use delegate for better performance see here
