Event binding means attaching an event to an HTML element.
jQuery provides different methods to bind events depending on project requirements.
Older versions of jQuery used methods like bind() and live(), while modern projects use on().
This is the most common and simple way to bind events.
However, it works only for elements that already exist on the page.
The on() method is the recommended way to bind events.
It supports both existing and dynamically added elements.
This method is used when elements are created dynamically using JavaScript or AJAX.
Event Binding Summary:
- click() is simple but limited
- on() is modern and powerful
- on() supports dynamic elements
- bind() and live() are outdated
