Basically, with .live() you don't have to bother updating event handlers if you have a very dynamic web site.

$('.hello').live('click', function () {
  alert('Hello!');
});

That example will bind the click event to any elements which already have the "hello" class as well as any elements that are dynamically inserted, be it by AJAX or by old-fashion JavaScript.
