How to replace .live() with .on() when targeting the document rather than an element within

Question

My understanding of the .on() function is that you call the function on the parent element of the target. The original jQuery I am changing is this:

 $(document).live('keydown',function(event) {
    if (event.ctrlKey==true && (event.which == '80')) { //cntrl + p
        event.preventDefault();
        printOrder();
    }
 });

So it is called directly on the document. My understanding is that I should be calling it like this:

 $(PARENT OF DOCUMENT).on('keydown', document, function(event) {
    if (event.ctrlKey==true && (event.which == '80')) { //cntrl + p
        event.preventDefault();
        printOrder();
    }
 });

I found plenty of answers on the .live() to .on() conversion, but they all referenced using a parent element. How can you reference the parent element of the document?

Answer 1

Just change .live to .on in your example above.

#document has no parent.
