However it does work with .live(), but that is now depreciated.

So I take it that you want to use event delegation to preserve those events on replaced elements. That would mean that this:

$('a').on('tap',function () {
    console.log('Hi there!');
});

would need to change to something like:

$(document).on('tap', 'a', function () {
    console.log('Hi there!');
});

in order for it to behave the same as $("a").live("tap", ...
