This is absolutely clutch. I've been watching this plugin progress
nicely and I'm very pleased with how it's turned out. I highly
recommend that everyone give it a try.

Brandon, this looks very exciting. It may even solve some issues I'm
running into in my current project.
Question: "Live Query (formally Behavior)" -- don't you mean
"formerly", or is the official name still "Behavior"?

This looks very cool indeed. No more creating functions for binding
events after ajax loads. I can't wait to use this. Great work Brandon!

;-( wops, three months ago, I needed something like that, I have to
programm various lines of
code plus for attaching events for the dinamic elements created.
You have made me very happy :-). I love this plugin, thanks thanks

John,
Any chance that this might be integrated into the core in a future
version, or something like it perhaps?

Most of the other libraries have some sort of Behaviors functionality (core or plugin) ... However, they all provide a pretty limited feature set compared to Live Query. None of them provide a live DOM experience like Live Query does.

Excellent work Brandon, I can't wait to give it a try.
~Sean

Awesome, Brandon!

Oh, this is DOPE dude!! This is destined to be integrated into jQuery; this
is a real problem for dynamic web pages right now.
THANKS!!!
Sean

This should be intergrated in the core jquery, i think it could replace .bind
since it does the same thing but more without have to change any
parameters, just to to the change c.bind to .livequery.

What happens though if you want to REMOVE the binding from an object. Using
this plugin, it would Rebind it right afterwards.

The beautiful of jQuery is the extensibility of the plugins. The core of
jQuery must be
small, with the core methods and without complexes methods that overload
the processor.
In this sense, livequery is very good, I like it, but why insert it into
the core? If you want
allways the livequery behaviour, you simply concatenate it to the jQuery
file ;-)
jQuery event methods uses the JavaScript core function addEventListener
or attachEvent (in IE)
so the execution of these methods is fast. But you can check the code of
Livequery, it checks
allways the new elements attaching the event, and sets an interval loop
for checking again and again.
I have many projects that I don't need the Livequery behaviour and with
the jQuery core functions
works well, so I don't need overload my code using Livequery in these
projects.
Maybe, in some moments you can find plugins very cool, but it is not
good insert all the pieces
of code that you like into the jQuery code.
Making the custom jQuery file to me (example):
java -jar custom_rhino.jar -w -version 150 -f jquery.js -c
jquery.wordscounter.js -c jquery.copyEvent.js > jquery.plugins.js
So I simply attach jquery.plugins.js in my code and I can use all the
methods.
Another method (using php)
HTML: <script type="text/javascript"
src="js/getlibraries.php?js[]=jquery.js&js[]=jquery.copyEvents.js&.....
PHP:
<?
//compressing with gzip
|ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
| $all_code = "";
for($i=0;$i< count($_GET["js"]); $i++){
$all_code .= file_get_contents($_GET["js"][$i]);
}
echo $all_code;
|ob_flush();|
?>

Andy,
That is not entirely true. It only binds the event the first time it finds the element. If you called unbind on a particular element, the event would be unbound. The only time that event would be rebound is if the Live Query was expired (.expire()) and then re-setup (.livequery()). However I wouldn't rely on that functionality simply because that unbinding the event for one element in a collection means that you need to think about constructing a different selector. BTW ... calling .expire() would unbind all the events and ... if you where using a class selector like this:
$('.doSomething').livequery('click', doSomething);
Then you changed one of the elements by removing the class "doSomething", the event would be unbound.

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I was just thinking.  We should combine the live query plugin with the PNGFix plugin, so that dynamically added PNGs would get fixed.
Really important for Ajax Apps.<br style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">
