jquery on vs click methods

Question

I know that the on method, is supposed to replace live, delegate etc. But is there any point in using it on places where you're currently using the click event? For example on elements that are not dynamically generated.

Answer 1

It's not specifically worth replacing click(), as in the jQuery source it converts all the 'shortcut' event handlers (like click(), keyup() etc.) to on("event", fn) anyway.
