Given the following elements:
<div class="container">
<span class="some-class">content</span>
..n span repetitions..
</div>
Given the following .on()
$('.some-class').on('click', function () { ... });
If you redraw the .container with new span.some-class, will you leak the old events?
What I mean is, before the redraw, should you do:
$('.some-class').off('click');
Thanks!
If you attach your event listener like this:
$(document).on({
click: function () {
// ...
}
}, '.some-class');
Then your event listener will not "leak" as you put it. You can redraw, add additional elements with .some-class and they will all inherit the event listener. This has the added benefit of only registering one event listener instead of "x" listeners depending on how many .some-class elements there are. Much better performance.
