Quick Answer
.on(event, selector, handler) attaches a handler - selector enables delegation for dynamic elements. .off(event, selector, handler) removes a specific handler. Omit the handler to remove all handlers for the event. .on() replaces all deprecated methods (.bind, .live, .delegate). Always pair .on with .off in cleanup to prevent memory leaks.
