• javascript
• jquery
• radio-button

• 1 Afaik, it is not possible to prevent default behavior from within a live handler. By the time it is run, the event already bubbled up and the default behavior executed. – Šime Vidas Commented Jul 25, 2011 at 17:10
• What default behavior specifically do you want to prevent? – Šime Vidas Commented Jul 25, 2011 at 17:31
• You can disable the radio button and/or invert the checked property upon clicking. Ex: radio.checked = !radio.checked;. Afterwards, you can invert the checked property back if a certain criteria is met. – user1385191 Commented Jul 25, 2011 at 18:53

Just return false; from the handler.

Just return false

.live('click', function (){
        return false;
    })
