I'm doing the following:

I want to add a specific handler for some links, denoted by a class.

$("a.link_list").live("click", new ListLinkHandler());

I use .live instead of .bind because new such links will be generated.

I defined the handler like this: public class ListLinkHandler extends Function { @Override public boolean f(Event e) { [...] } } But it is never visited. I can see the event listener in Chrome Dev Tools: http://screencloud.net/v/bV5V. It's on the body because it's a .live.

I tried using .bind and it worked. The body event listener changed in a a.link_list and the handler does what it's supposed to do, but (I didn't test but as documented) not for newly created links.

So I suppose a bug in the .live implementation.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latest from the Downloads page.

The .live() method is a very important one of jQuery, could someone please make spoort for it a priority?

Could you post a complete example demonstrating the issue? The piece of code you have posted works fine in my example:

public void onModuleLoad() { $("a.link_list").live("click", new ListLinkHandler());

// Add a new link via gquery $("Click ").appendTo(document);

// Add a new link via gwt widgets Anchor a = new Anchor("click"); a.setStyleName("link_list"); a.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() { public void onClick(ClickEvent event) { Window.alert("clickHandler"); } }); RootPanel.get().add(a); }

public class ListLinkHandler extends Function { @Override public boolean f(Event e) { Window.alert("live"); return true; } }

@stevenroose, just a ping, could you verify if the issue continues?. I would like to close this issue.
