Port jQuery.live to jQuery 1.9+ while you wait for your application to migrate. Add this to your JavaScript file.

          if( window.console && console.warn ) {
           console.warn( "jQuery.live is deprecated. Use jQuery.on instead." );

          jQuery( this.context ).on( types, this.selector, data, fn );
          return this;
        }
});

Note: Above function will not work from jQuery v3 as this.selector is removed.
