Hi I'm working on the web App that work fine with desktop but have a problem with iPad devises safari browser it opens a new tab every time i select an option in a dropdownlist box.This code worked but stopped other controls from working.

$("a").live(function (event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    window.location = $(this).attr("href");
});

I tried changing the live() to on() but does not work any more please help.
