Question

I have a Drupal site using jQuery 1.3, so that unfortunately I cannot use the live function. I need to intercept a click/change event of a dynamically created item.
How can I do that without using live? I cannot upgrade to jquery 1.4.

In jQuery 1.3 if you need events .live() didn’t support then (change properly in IE, etc) your best bet is still the .livequery() plugin:

$(".mySelector").livequery(function() {
  $(this).change(function() {
    //do something
  });
});

.livequery() works differently, it actively looks for new elements and binds to them, rather than how .live() is a passive event listener…so it is a bit more expensive…but that’s what there was before .live() was abailable.
