Hi, I was browsing through the new jQuery code and noticed that .live()
always binds events to document. I was wondering whether it would be
more efficient to bind them on the context if present - ie. to prevent
events from unnecessarily bubbling all the way up to document.
so that:
$('button', container).live('click', function(ev) {
var button = this;
...
ev.stopPropagation();
});
events are bound to 'container', and the function prevents further
propagation.
I know that this kind of thing can currently be done more efficiently
than using live like this:
$(container).bind('click', function(ev) {
var button = $(ev.target).closest('button');
...
});
so wouldn't binding live on the context leverage live for more useful
situations like this, and take the strain off binding to document?
I've not had chance to test this out, I thought I'd raise the issue
for discussion first before spending too much time on the matter.
Maybe I've completely overlooked something ;)
