Maybe avoiding ambiguity. load() is used to either bind an event or load
content via XHR.
Also, if you want to attach custom events, you'll have to use bind.
$(elem).bind('triggerTab', function() {
...
});
Or, if you dynamically want to decide which event to attach, like I do
in Thickbox Reloaded:
$$.bind((type == CONFIRM ? 'submit' : 'click'), function() {
...
});
In addition until jQuery 1.1 new jQuery users very often expected to
have submit() for instance trigger a form's default action. Thus it was
discussed, that these helpers should be removed in favor of bind and
trigger, also to make jQuery smaller. But then it was fixed the other
way round in jQuery 1.1.
To me, if you use bind, it's much clearer what you intend to do
(thinking of co-workers that are new to jQuery), and I'm tending to
solely use bind nowadays.
