title: Simulating "focus" and "blur" in jQuery .live() method
body: <p><strong>Update:</strong> As of jQuery 1.4, <code>$.live()</code> now supports <em>focusin</em> and <em>focusout</em> events.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.jquery.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jQuery</a> currently<sup>1</sup> doesn't support "blur" or "focus" as arguments for the <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Events/live" rel="nofollow noreferrer">$.live()</a> method. What type of work-around could I implement to achieve the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("textarea")
    .live("focus", function() { foo = "bar"; })
    .live("blur",  function() { foo = "fizz"; });
  </code></pre>
