Question

As per last Rails gem update, my jQuery v was updated to 1.9 , which raises errors regarding my .live() bindings …

$('#tags.tab-pane.active #tag-list li span.myTag').live "click", (e) ->

is now wrong ..
I tried

$("#tags.tab-pane.active #tag-list li").on "click", "span.myTag", (e) ->

but it’s wrong too… what should I use ? “on” or “delegate”

Answer 1

if you are appending an element it is not in the dom originally but once it’s been appended the below is applicable

$('body').on('click','#tags.tab-pane.active #tag-list li', function(e){
  //carry out function
});
