"live" about bean HOT 13 CLOSED

This would be very nice to have.

from bean.

is live more than just delegation added to the body?

Delegation (event bubbling) is supported by elements which natively support bubbling (so not submit, and a few other form related ones.) Beans delegation requires that you pass it a query selector.

So... by way of an example, delegation with ender would look like this (assuming a build which was ender -b qwery bean... ender automatically passes in the query selector):

$(document).delegate('.content p', function () {
   //foo
});

from bean.

I can't get event delegation to work.

$(document).delegate('#container .link', function () {
    console.log('test');
});

The target is an a tag. Full ender stack.

try $("body").delegate instead

Still nothing.

lol.. i forgot that you need to specify what type of event you're listening for.... for example: click...

$(document).bind('p', 'click', function () {
  alert('boo');
});

from bean.

hehe. works for me ootb. thanks!

@fat did this ever get ported as .live()?

$('p').live('click', function () {
  alert('boo');
});

// which would be this under the hood...
$(document).bind('p', 'click', function () {
  alert('boo');
});

from bean.

This would also be a major case to use the .selector property we tack on...

$('div p').selector // "div p"

from bean.

I have a branch called jquery-tests where i'm working through getting bean 1:1 with jquery events (that has live support)

from bean.

and yep! i'm using the .selector there! :D

Just discovered: http://jupiterjs.com/news/why-you-should-never-use-jquery-live -- hehe. In fact, I meant namely delegate in the subject...

@fat ha! awesome.
@dvv oh interesting.
