.live() breaks when using .add()

[jasmin@…]

See example :

​http://jsfiddle.net/fNeNX/

Change: .live("click",function......) to : .click(function....) and it works like a charm.

Tested with 1.5.2 and 1.4.2

Thanks for taking the time to help out the jQuery project, but this is a known limitation of .live(), as it is stated on ​the documentation

"DOM traversal methods are not supported for finding elements to send to .live(). Rather, the .live() method should always be called directly after a selector, as in the example above."

You may find that the ​delegate method is more appropriate for your use case.

Hi,

Thank you for taking time to respond. I did not understand correctly that part of the documentation.
