How To Bind jQuery .live() To Multiple Events

Author: erics, April 17th, 2011

As of jQuery 1.4.1 .live() can accept multiple, space-separated events, similar to the functionality provided in .bind(). For example, we can “live bind” the click and focus events at the same time like so:

jQuery('.datepick').live('click focus', function () {
   jQuery(this).datepicker('destroy').datepicker({showOn: 'both'});
});

jQuery('.datepick').live('click focus', function () {

jQuery(this).datepicker('destroy').datepicker({showOn: 'both'});

});

Another example, this time creating a hover effect:

jQuery('.rollover').live('mouseover mouseout', function(event) {
  if (event.type == 'mouseover') {
    // do something on mouseover
  } else {
    // do something on mouseout
  }
});

jQuery('.rollover').live('mouseover mouseout', function(event) {

if (event.type == 'mouseover') {

// do something on mouseover

} else {

// do something on mouseout

}

});
