Confirmed here, any page loading version 1.9.0 fires this error. Downgrading to 1.8.3 solves the problem. Should be an urgent issue...

Yes, .live is not in jQuery 1.9 which is being released today. Read the blog post for information.

Did you read the upgrade guide that is linked several times in that post, and also several times in the beta announcements that came before it?

i did, but it only says that 1.9 no longer attempts to maintain .live() but not why.

As of jQuery 1.7, the .live() method is deprecated. -- ​http://api.jquery.com/live/

jQuery 1.7 was released in November 2011, so there's been more than a year of notice. As to why, just read that documentation and you'll see all the disadvantages of .live().

If you are not prepared to make changes in the site's code, either don't upgrade to 1.9.0 or use the jQuery Migrate plugin mentioned in the upgrade guide.
