public jquery/jquery-mobile

jQM AJAX navigation breaks if you bind handlers to the click events of any a or form elements with .live() or .delegate() before jquery.mobile-1.0beta-pre.min.js is included in the page. For example:

<script src="/javascripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript" />
<script type="text/javascript">
  $('a').live('click', function() { console.log('hi'); });
  // or this to:
  $(document).delegate('a', 'click', function() { console.log('hi'); });
</script>
<script src="/javascripts/jquery.mobile-1.0beta-pre.min.js" type="text/javascript" />

However, this works fine:

<script src="/javascripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript" />
<script src="/javascripts/jquery.mobile-1.0beta-pre.min.js" type="text/javascript" />
<script type="text/javascript">
  $('a').live('click', function() { console.log('hi'); });
</script>

Obviously, this code is an unrealistic example. However, it's not uncommon for jQuery plugins to use live or delegate, which means if you include such a plugin before jQuery Mobile, it breaks, but include the plugin after jQuery Mobile and it works.

Also, this bug did not exist in Alpha 4-pre, only in Beta-pre.
