feature request - live events

[sebastien-p]

OK, thanks, I will start working on it by tonight (french time zone).

As I am also working on version 2, live events support will be published as a temporary patch : version 1.0.6.

EDIT 1 :

Due to the way the live method is implemented "DOM traversal methods are not supported for finding elements to send to .live(). Rather, the .live() method should always be called directly after a selector, as in the example above." (source : http://api.jquery.com/live/), it is a little bit more complicated then expected to make jQuery.hasEventListener version 1.0.5 support live events.

So I decided not to release a temporary patch like I previously said but to only add full support for live/delegated events in version 2 (coming soon, about 60% done right now).

EDIT 2 :

I found this link which is very interesting, worth reading : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4514766/jquery-live-events-and-querying-if-an-element-will-respond-to-an-event

Looking forward to v2.0. Thanks for the great code.
Used your link and built it out a little bit. I hope this is of some help: http://jsfiddle.net/soodesune/abkWg/20/

--Edit-- This code no longer work under jQuery 1.5

Thanks for your concern, sorry I only saw your edit 1 minute ago.

I'm working on it, the hard part is to ensure old jQuery version support for live/delegated events checking ...

But, as for now, the other parts of the API seem to work just great.

Version 2.0 is out with full support for live and delegated events, please go see the API/documentation to know how does this solve the problem.

I guess I can now close this issue.
