What is a good yui replacement for jquery.live

Question

jQuery.live

Added in jQuery 1.3: attaches a handler to an event (for example, a click) for all elements corresponding to the current and future. May also bind custom events.

Is there a good replacement for YUI that can do this?

Answer 1

In YUI3, delegates perform this function. The following snippet launches a method called "clickHandler" on any "p" tag in the body.

YUI().use('event', function(Y) {
  Y.delegate("click", clickHandler, "body", "p");
});

YUI 2.8.0 has a delegate , but the syntax is slightly different.
