The jQuery live event is used to attach one or more event handlers for selected elements. It also specifies a function to run when the event is triggered.
Event handlers attached using the live() method will work for both current and future elements matching the selector.
Syntax
$(selector).live(event,data,function)
| Parameter | Description |
|---|
| event | One or more events to attach. Event values are separated by space |
| data | Additional optional data to pass along to the function |
| function | Optional function to run when the event(s) occur |
Basic Example
In the following jQuery example, the live() method adds the click event to the element with an id of "imgMouse". When the "imgMouse" element is clicked, the "click" event is executed through the live
method. In this example, the div element will be shown or hidden as the mouse icon is clicked. Try it yourself, by clicking the mouse icon.
<div id="divParent">
<img id="imgMouse"src="#" />
<div id="divChild">
<div id="divText">Click the mouse icon to toggle ....
</div>
</div>
$("#imgMouse").live("click", function () {
$("#divChild").slideToggle();
});
Click the mouse icon to toggle this display.
