data-confirm issue with .delegate()

Could you please elaborate on what the issue is here?

oh yeah, sure. Basically what happened was using the latest rails.js, jquery 1.4.4, and Rails 3.0.3 I created the normal delete link to delete an object <%= link_to('delete', post_path(post), :method => :delete, :confirm => 'Are you sure?') %> and when clicking this, it would never show the "Are you sure?", instead it would just delete. To fix this I changed flipped the arguments on the $('body').delegate() function to put the event first, and the selectors second. This worked fine, but I thought it was weird that the docs on the jQuery API said the selector comes first. I read through all of the comments on that site and found that older versions of the jQuery Validate plugin were overriding the delegate function and changing the order of the arguments. I fixed this by downloading the latest jQuery validate plugin.

It was something that racked my brain for a bit, so in case anyone else runs across this issue, this would be a good place to start :)

Thanks.
