Issues with jQuery .live() event binding!

Answer 1

You've got a syntax error:

$('input:checkbox').live('click', function () {
    // works fine 
});

$('select').live('change', function () {
    // should be working now
});

Note the ); that I've added.

Edit now that you've updated your question, my answer doesn't make sense. I'm going to guess, however, that you've got additional code between these two lines, and that code is raising an error, which stops the second live() call from being called.

That's just a guess, though....

Answer 2

Your are missing paranthesis behind both .live statements.

$('selector').live('event', function(){
});  // close the anonymous function

Answer 3

You need to close parentheses. Here's a working example:

$(function() {
    $('select').live('change', function() {
        alert('change');
    }); 
    $('input:checkbox').live('click', function() {
        alert('click'); 
    }); 
}); ​
