One of the developers I work with began to write all his code this way:

$('.toggles').delegate('input', 'click', function() { 
   // do something  
});

vs:

$('.toggles').click(function() { 
   // do something  
});

Are there any performance benefits to doing this?

    delegate() is superseded as of jQuery 1.7.

    Use .on() instead.


    .on() has excellent performance benchmarks. And covers your .click() needs as well as needed
