with version 1.7.1 i

Answer 1

Converting code from using .live to .on isn't just a case of replacing the calls to .live with .on calls. They accept different arguments, and are called on different selectors. For example, the old syntax:

$('a').live('click', function () {});

With .on:

$(document).on('click', 'a', function () {});

This syntax gives you greater control and flexibility.

I would recommend reading the documentation: http://api.jquery.com/on/
