Answer 1

Try this:

$('table tr th').live("click", function() {

should be

$(document).on("click", "table tr th", function() {

That is how you would mimic the .live call exactly. You could of course limit your selector from document to something more meaningful based on your DOM structure.

Edit:

Just to clarify, in your example, you are required to use $(document).on(... because the table doesn't have any parents and is replaced during the life of your page.
