.live() delegation can be friendly if it mimics the the propagation order

[iraebrasil]

As discussed in the jquery-dev list on the topic:  http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-dev/browse_thread/thread/d2900793205d58e/7d034f723cf8588c?hl=en&

I believe that the overhead is minimal in the proposed attached patch.

I've made a test case and also an unit test proposal.

1.3.1:  http://irae.pro.br/jquerytests/live.simulate.propagation-patched.html

1.3.1 with patch:  http://irae.pro.br/jquerytests/live.simulate.propagation-patched.html

Ooops,

This is with 1.3.1:  http://irae.pro.br/jquerytests/live.simulate.propagation.html

Sorry

sort live handlers to mimic natural propagation

Fixed in SVN rev [6192].

The solution does not seem to work if the element uses .live() handler and parent using regular .click() handler. Try the following test case.

        // in testD <a> is bound without live
        $(function(){
            $('#testD li').click(function(event){
                $(this).css(
                    'background-color',
                    ($(this).css('background-color')==='rgb(255, 192, 203)'?'red':'rgb(255, 192, 203)')
                    );
            });
            $('#testD a').live("click", function(event){
                $(this).css(
                    'background-color',
                    ($(this).css('background-color')==='rgb(255, 255, 255)'?'silver':'rgb(255, 255, 255)')
                    );
                return false;
            });
        });

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! Please provide a reduced jsFiddle test case to help us assess your ticket!

Additionally, test against the jQuery 0 GIT version to ensure the issue still exists. Be Excellent to eachother!
