tipsy live does not work with jQuery 1.9.0

Question

We recently upgraded our jQuery to 1.9.0, but it broke our tipsy plugin. Its live functionality now causes an error.

$(\'.tooltip, abbr\').tipsy({
          


        

Answer 1

you need to include jquery migration plugin, since you are using live:true it make use of jquery.live which was removed in jquery 1.9.

For backward compatibility they have created a migration plugin which can be downloaded here and include the migration plugin to add back support for the removed methods and utilities.

I would be doing something like

if (options.trigger != 'manual') {
    var eventIn  = options.trigger == 'hover' ? 'mouseenter' : 'focus',
        eventOut = options.trigger == 'hover' ? 'mouseleave' : 'blur';
    if(options.live){
      $(this.context).on(eventIn, this.selector, enter).on(eventOut, this.selector, leave);
    } else {
      this.on(eventIn, enter).on(eventOut, leave);
    }
}
