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.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
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().
