javascript - how to implement a jQuery live bind event on mootools?

Question

How do I make elements that are loaded via ajax, adopt the events associated with the same class on mootools 1.11?

As far as I know, in jQquery, if your ajax response consists of something like <div class='button'>,
if there is an event bind using live to $('.button'), those events would automatically bind.

Is that possible with MooTools 1.11?

Perhaps something like this might do what you're looking for? Though I'm not sure if it'll work with 1.11.

Element.implement({
    addLiveEvent: function(event, selector, fn){
        this.addEvent(event, function(e){
            var t = $(e.target);

            if (!t.match(selector)) return false;
                fn.apply(t, [e]);
        }.bindWithEvent(this, selector, fn));
    }
});

$(document.body).addLiveEvent('click', 'a', function(e){ alert('This is a live event'); });
