How to convert jQuery function to on() method

Question

I have a function from the jquery.event.drop plugin found at http://threedubmedia.com/code/event/drop/demo/selection:

$(selector).drag("start", function( ev, dd ){});

How can I convert this to work using the on() method?

Something like this (not working):

$(document).on("drag", selector, "start", function(ev, dd){});

are you trying to delegate the drag or just convert to the on method? — mkoryak

I need the code to work for appended elements, so I use on() for jquery version 1.10.2. — user2171842

This only works using jquery version 1.7.2, but not 1.10.2. Any other suggestions?

works in this jsFiddle with version 1.10.2. I'm using Chrome if that makes any change..
