What is a good yui replacement for jquery.live

Question

jQuery.live

Added in jQuery 1.3: Binds a handler to an event (like click) for all current - and future - matched element. Can also bind custom events.

Is there a good YUI replacement which can do this?

Answer 1

In YUI3, delegates perform this function. The following snippet will fire a method called "clickHandler" on any 'p' tag in the body.

YUI().use('event', function(Y) {
  Y.delegate("click", clickHandler, "body", "p");
});

YUI 2.8.0 has delegate functionality as well, but the syntax is slightly different.
