Definition and Usage
The live() method in jQuery version 1.7was deprecated, and was removed in version 1.9. Please use theon()method instead.
The live() method attaches one or more event handlers to the selected elements, and specifies a function to run when the events occur.
Event handlers attached with the live() method work for current and future elements matching the selector (such as new elements created by script).
Tip:To remove event handlers, use thedie()method.
