I want to do this: http://docs.jquery.com/Events/live#typefn
Only .live() doesn't support the change event- any ideas for work arounds?
Need to bind a function to some on-the-fly DOM elements, but not until change.
A:
Before there was .live() in jQuery 1.3, I had great success with Arial Flesler's "listen" plugin.

I believe you should be able to do this on the change event with this plugin.

You'll probably find that this has the (unwanted) effect of binding and re-binding your change function multiple times...

hm- i hadn't thought of that but you are obviously right. Since I won't need the function to work for the clicked/changed element again, would an acceptable solution be to $(this).removeClass("fu") at the end of my change function?

duh, answer to that one is obviously no... hmmmm seems like there must be a creative solution here that doesn't require a plug-in, i'll keep thinking about it.

A:
Note: jQuery 1.4 now supports the live function for all normal events. It didn't work with IE8 until recently, but I believe this is fixed with jQuery 1.4.2. See this resolved jQuery ticket: IE8 DOES NOT SUPPORT THE CHANGE EVENT WHILE USING LIVE
