Does .live() binding work for jQuery in IE7?

Question

Hi everyone,

I have a piece of javascript which is supposed to latch onto a form which gets introduced via XHR. It looks something like:

$(document).ready(function() {

   $('#myform').live('submit', function() {
      $(foo).appendTo('#myform');
      $(this).ajaxSubmit(function() {
        alert("HelloWorld");
    });
       return false;
   });

});

This happens to work in FF3, but not in IE7. Any idea what the problem is?

Answer 1

How are you excuting the submit? Can you try this instead?

$(':submit').live('click', function(e) {
  $(foo).appendTo('#myform');

  $('#myform').ajaxSubmit(function() {
    alert('Hello World');
  });

  e.preventDefault();
  return false;
});

Answer 2

The submit event is not currently supported by Events/live.

Possible event values: click, dblclick, mousedown, mouseup, mousemove, mouseover, mouseout, keydown, keypress, keyup

Currently not supported: blur, focus, mouseenter, mouseleave, change, submit

Re CMS above, in JQuery 1.4, live is supposed to work with 'submit', but seems to still not with IE7. I'm going to try delegate instead and see if that helps.
