LiveQuery is a staple in my list of plugins. No matter how much I mess
with the DOM, my events always fire. Leave the core lean, but this
plugin deserves more recognition for sure.
Given the dispersed nature of the jQuery community, what are some
suggestions to get the plugin more recognition?
On the old plugins Wiki section of the jQuery site, there is still an
"Official" plugins section, maybe it could be put there; although it seems
that page is deprecated, as the main plugins link now goes to the repository
browser.
I also think it should not be in the core; it is a great plugin but not
used so often that it would be worth the 3K or so it would add.

it solves this problem:
$("div.klass").draggable();
$("#foo").load("url", function() { $("div.klass").draggable(); });
beautifully, as you now only need to do:
$("div.klass").livequery(function() { $(this).draggable() });
$("#foo").load("url");
Obviously, that was only a simple example. The more general case, wanting
to
bind some event handler to a selector regardless of when it appears on
the
page, is extremely common. So again, I'm trying to understand why the
rate
of adoption has been so slow. Any thoughts?
