jQuery event click when clicked on any content inside a div

Question

I have this jQuery:

$("div.result").live("click", function(event){
alert("kokoko");
});

HTML could be:

<div id="result">
Flash banner code
Image with link 
etc.
</div>

What I want to do is to trigger the alert when any of the elements inside the div holder is clicked on. Currently the alert is not trigger when there is a image banner inside result.

Answer 1

Try:

$("#result").on("click", function(){
    alert("kokoko");
});

// or

$("#result").click(function(){
    alert("kokoko");
});

// or just pure JavaScript

document.getElementById("result").addEventListener("click",function(){
    alert("kokoko");
});

Though it's a good practice to solve cross-browser issues with pure JavaScript like this (with addEvent and removeEvent functions):

(function(){
    if ( document.addEventListener ) {
        this.addEvent = function(elem, type, fn) {
            elem.addEventListener(type, fn, false);
            return fn;
        };

        this.removeEvent = function(elem, type, fn) {
            elem.removeEventListener(type, fn, false);
        };
    } else if ( document.attachEvent ) {
        this.addEvent = function(elem, type, fn) {
            var bound = function() {
                return fn.apply(elem, arguments);
            };
            elem.attachEvent("on" + type, bound);
            return bound;
        };

        this.removeEvent = function (elem, type, fn) {
            elem.detachEvent("on" + type, fn);
        };
    }
})();

Answer 2

Never use or recommend .live() which is deprecated...

$("#result").on("click", function(event){
alert("kokoko");
});

Answer 3

This should do it:

$("#result").on("click", function(){
    alert("it worked!");
});

live is deprecated

Answer 4

should be div#result .result would be a class. Also, try not to use live, use .on() instead.
