Event Handlers in Jquery or Javascript

Live Event Handlers

Set an event handler for any element that matches a selector, even if it gets added to the DOM after the initial page load:

$('button.someClass').live('click', someFunction);

This allows you to load content via ajax, or add them via javascript and have the event handlers get set up properly for those elements automatically.

Likewise, to stop the live event handling:

$('button.someClass').die('click', someFunction);

These live event handlers have a few limitations compared to regular events, but they work great for the majority of cases.
