JQuery live or something similar with .change ()?

I want to do this: http://docs.jquery.com/Events/live#typefn

Only .live () does not support change events - any ideas for working around?

It is necessary to bind the function to some DOM elements on the fly, but only before the change.

Note. jQuery 1.4 now supports the live function for all common events. It did not work with IE8 until recently, but I believe this has been fixed with jQuery 1.4.2. See This jQuery Ticket Allowed: IE8 DOES NOT SUPPORT EVENT CHANGE WHEN USING LIVE

The LiveQuery plugin supports all events.

Oh, that wasn't so bad, I just wrapped it in a live on click event, and it worked out just fine.

$("#foo").live("click", function(){ $('.fu').change(function(){ blah blah blah }); });

Well, after Funka comments on my first attempt to answer my own question, I now have this:

 $('.foo').change(function test(){ $(fu).prependTo("#some-div").bind("change", test) $(this).unbind("change",test) };

which will associate a function with each element as it is created and untie it from what was created before it. This solves my problem UI-wise, but I'm starting out for beginners, so I'm really open to learning if I miss something again !;)

Before .live () appeared in jQuery 1.3, I was very successful with the Arial Flesler listen plugin.

I believe that you should do this in the change event with this plugin.
