jQuery - convert .live() to .on()

Question

How do I go about combining this old jQuery code into the v1.7 .on()?

v1.3 .live():

    $(\'#results tbody tr\').live({
            


        

Answer 1

The formats used are specified in the documentation for live

$(document).on({...events...}, selector, data);

-or-

$(document).on(event, selector, data, callback);

The code for the live function in 1.7+ is now just a pass-through function:

live: function( types, data, fn ) {
    jQuery( this.context ).on( types, this.selector, data, fn );
    return this;
}

Answer 2

You can pass an event-map as the first parameter:

$('#results tbody').on({
    'mouseenter' : function () {
        $(this).find('.popup').show();
     },
    'mouseleave' : function () {
        $(this).find('.popup').hide();
    }
}, 'tr');

jQuery documentation:

.on( events-map [, selector] [, data] ),
events-map A map in which the string keys represent one or more space-separated event types and optional namespaces, and the values represent a handler function to be called for the event(s).

Answer 3

I just want to pass both event handlers in one object, like I do in the first example.

In this case you could attach the two events together, then differentiate them in the handler itself, like this:

$('#results tbody').on('mouseenter mouseleave', 'tr', function (e) {
    if (e.type == "mouseenter") {
        $(this).find('.popup').show();
    }
    else {
        $(this).find('.popup').hide();
    }
});

Answer 4

Taking your first example and changing live to on should be all that you need

 $('#results tbody tr').on({
mouseenter:
   function () { $(this).find('.popup').show(); },
mouseleave:
   function () { $(this).find('.popup').hide(); }
})
