It will only be faster for a single bind. If you do multiple delegate will be faster.

Wow. Thanks ! Stumbling upon your site help solved something I've been stuck on for a while. If you are binding an event dynamically in a loop to serial DOM elements, you can't just access the index counter within each bind event and get the right index, all it does is get the last index. However your binding data to that bind event solved that issue. For example if you do this :

$(".m"+count).bind('dragstop',  function(ev, ui, counter) { 
  console.log (counter);
}

Each time you drag an item, say .m1 or .m2, counter will only return the last value counter was - so its impossible to tie values back to what you are dragging. If you do this though thanks to your page :

$(".m"+count).bind('dragstop', {counter : count},  function(ev, ui) {
 console.log (ev.data.counter);
}

It has the correct value. That is if you drag around .m1 it returns 1, .m2 returns 2, etc.

Thanks a lot! You taught me something new and possibly very useful in my near programming future.
