Description
Try following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<div id="blah">
<input id="blah1" value="asdfasdfasdfasdf"/>
<input id="blah2" value="asdfasdfasdfasdf"/>
</div>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$('#blah input').live('select', function(){ alert("I'm alive!");});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Above code should "alert" "I'm alive!" when selecting text in the input box on IE8 but it doesn't. It's related to IE8 not bubbling up ''select'' event, but maybe there is workaround for it.

Yes, the event does not bubble in IE<9. It is a rarely-used event and takes a lot of code to patch bubbling properly, so I have added it to the notes on http://api.jquery.com/on as an event that is not supported for delegation.
Also,
.live()is deprecated but the same delegation limits apply to.delegate()and.on().
