Live events with on() instead of live()?

Hello,

I have been wanting to use live events as explained here : http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/advanced_init/events_live.html
This actually works well, using the live() function.
However, jQuery recommends now using on() instead of live(). See http://api.jquery.com/live/
I tried replacing the live() function by on() and my code stopped working.

I just wanted to know if you will support on() and if the problem is even linked to datatables itself.
I am using jquery 1.8.1 and datatables 1.9.3

Best regards.
