.delegate does not support variables

Description
The selector (first) parameter does not support variables anymore, but still works with 1.8.0
.delegate(myVar+" a","click",myFunc) does not work
.delegate("a","click",myFunc) does still work
I know .on is the new way of doing things, but need to support legacy code.

Actually, you don't have them backwards but you're wrong, they are supported. It's just concatenating strings with JavaScript after all. If after discussing this with people on the forum you can provide an example of failure using jsFiddle, we can reopen.

You are correct, it isn't a variable issue. But there is still a discrepancy in how 1.8.0 and 1.8.3, on in the jsfiddle below between 1.7.2 and 1.8.2
Seems like ID cannot be in the selector.

1.8.2 is right. The ID you are selecting should be below the delegation point.

Please elaborate. So IDs can never be in the delegate selector? I understand the point of how code "should" be written, but this was supported in 1.8.0.

The id is clearly not needed, since you're already below it. You're expecting the search to start from the <html> element I assume, which it erroneously did in previous versions. If the id was **below** the delegation point the selector would make sense.

Updated jsfiddle showing a corrected example.
You have the arguments backwards. Ask for help on the forum.
