Proper use of .on method in Jquery

Question

I really liked the .live method as it was straightforward and essentially not much different than your standard event handler.

Alas, it was deprecated and I\'m left

Answer 1

Nope.

$( '#who_me' ).live( 'click', function () { ... });

is the same as:

$( document ).on( 'click', '#who_me', function () { ... });

However, you usually don't want to bind to much handlers to the document object. Instead you bind to the nearest static ancestor (of #who_me, in this case). So:

$( '#wrapper' ).on( 'click', '#who_me', function () { ... });

where #wrapper is an ancestor of #who_me.
