.live has been deprecated in jQuery since v1.7, and has been removed in v1.9.

You should replace it with .on().

.on has 2 signatures for binding elements, whereas .live only had 1.

If the element exists at the time you are binding, you do it like this:

$('.element').on('click', function(){
  .......
});

You can even use the shorthand:

$('.element').click(function(){
  .........
});

If the element does not exist at the time, or new ones will be added (which is what .live was normally used for), you need to use "event delegation":

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

NOTE: You want to bind to the closest static element, not always document.

In the meantime, the jQuery Migrate plugin can be used to restore the .live() functionality if you upgrade your jQuery to the newest version.
