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

To replace .live() you need one more parameter int he .on() call.

// do not use! - .live(events, handler)
$('#container a').live('click', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    console.log('item anchor clicked');
});

// new way (jQuery 1.7+) - .on(events, selector, handler)
$('#container').on('click', 'a', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    console.log('item anchor clicked');
});
