Description

A simple test case:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
	<title>jquery live test</title>
</head>
<body>
	<button>Foo</button>
	<select class="foo-select">
		<option value="foo1">foo1</option>
		<option value="foo2">foo2</option>
		<option value="foo3">foo3</option>
		<option value="foo4">foo4</option>
		<option value="foo5">foo5</option>
		<option value="foo6">foo6</option>
	</select>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		$('button').live('click', function() { alert('buttonclick'); } );
		$('select.foo-select').live('change', function() { alert(this.value); } );
	</script>
</body>
</html>

jQuery 1.4.2; confirmed broken on IE8, IE8 compatibility mode, and IE7.

If the $('button').live('click'... line appears second in the script block, then everything works as intended. But having the 'click' event first prevents the change event from occurring.
