[jQuery] Re: What is the easiest way to add events to dynamically added rows?
Dan, I am planning on taking a look at Listen, but I was wondering if the Delegate plugin has the same functionality as Listen. The reason I'm inquiring about Delegate is because I am using the Validation plugin, which requires Delegate. Thanks for your help. Travis On Feb 20, 2:38 pm, Dan G.

You won't have the polling overhead like you do with LiveQuery. The $.Listen() plug-in only attaches itself once and then just listens for matching key events on it's children to see if it should trigger off a callback. IMO this is much cleaner solution and it's less likely to introduce any kind of memory leaks (since there's only one event ever attached.) -Dan

Wow - I asked Ariel Flesler (the developer of the Listen plugin) to explain why one would use it instead of LiveQuery. His response was way more cryptic than yours.

The reason I'm inquiring about Delegate is because I am using the Validation plugin, which requires Delegate. Thanks for your help. It looks like Delegate provides similar functionality (although Listen offers more functionality.) However, if you're only interested in attaching behaviors to elements,with no need to remove events, than Delegate should do the job nicely. -Dan

@whylom Sorry if my reply was cryptic (I don't remember when). The thing is I already answered that question a few times. I'll throw in a few differences, but let me say both are good plugins, they help on similar situations with different approaches. Note that I haven't ever used LiveQuery so I cannot say much, I'll just say what I know, read both documentations if you want a fairer comparation. LiveQuery is easier to use, as in, you don't need much understanding, it just does what it is meant to do. It's more reliable to, as it works for any event and any selector. Also it allows to execute functions when elements are added/removed, sort of like Firefox's Mutation events. It surely has more pros but as I said, I've never used it, so that's all I know. Listen is light, and fast. Is designed to be almost 100% scalable. Meaning it doesn't matter if you register 20 selectors to the same element/event. It should take nearly the same time to evaluate when the event comes. Also, as Dan said, it binds initially and then just listens, this also contributes to scalability. On the other hand, some events cannot be handled because they don't bubble. Luckily blur and focus (which are oftenly needed) can now be handled with Listen. Well, that's it. Thanks Dan for supporting Listen :) Cheers Ariel Flesler On 21 feb, 12:56, whylom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wow - I asked Ariel Flesler (the developer of the Listen plugin) to explain why one would use it instead of LiveQuery.
