live() change not working in jquery 1.4.2 on IE8

Question

I have been running the following jquery code in IE8 (with jquery 1.4.2). This is working in all other browser like Mozilla, IE9 and so on, but not working in IE8.

Could anyone tell me how can I fix this issue or using the similar code to do the same 'change' function?

$('.input-timesheet-type').live('change', function () {
   totalCount($(this).attr('data-teamid'));
});

The point is they fix bugs and they adapt to new versions of browsers. It's hard to remember what was the bugs at that time. — Denys Séguret, Mar 21 '13 at 22:11

Although IE8 supports live(), live() has some problems using the change() event:

Possible event values: click, dblclick, mousedown, mouseup, mousemove, mouseover, mouseout, keydown, keypress, keyup

Currently not supported: blur, focus, mouseenter, mouseleave, change, submit

You mean to say jQuery 1.4 doesn't support `change`. – Asad Saeeduddin Mar 21 '13 at 22:12

You can use .delegate instead of .live, it became available in v1.4.2

.delegate() in jQuery Documentation

Also, .live() does not exist in recent versions of jQuery so, .delegate() will future-proof your code a little better.
