The jQuery event bind() method attaches one or more event handlers for selected elements, and specifies a function to run when the events occur. As of jQuery 1.7, the .on() method is the preferred method for attaching
event handlers to a document. For earlier versions, the .bind() method is used for attaching an event handler directly to elements.
