Bind jQuery events to DIV with specific HTML TAG like TEXTAREA-Collection of common programming errors

I have one DIV element which contains dynamically created TEXTAREAs and and .

Currently I have bound three events on above DIV like below

jQuery("#uniqueId ").bind("click change keypress", function(e){
    ....
    ....
});

Now problems occur are when I click on file input button to Browse and Upload a file or check on Checkbox I receives following error

Uncaught InvalidStateError: An attempt was made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable. 

myxFunction myXjavscript.js:1172
(anonymous function) myXjavscript.js:109
f.event.dispatch jquery-1.7.1.min.js:3
h.handle.i

and because of it file and checkbox inputs are not working and throwing errors. I just want to bind above events only on TEXTAREA and not other elements under a DIV.

Reason to use "click change keypress" events together because in Chrome I am performing Dynamic operations on Textarea to get cursor position after add/edit/delete texts from Textarea. So to record all those things I needed to add those three events.

How can I achieve this?

1. If you only want to bind the events to the textareas contained within #uniqueId, use the second argument (delegate selector):

   jQuery("#uniqueId ").on("click change keypress", "textarea", function(e){
       ....
       ....
   });
   

   Edit: didn’t realize you were using .bind, always use .on! It’s awesome. http://api.jquery.com/on/

2. You should check the element before using it like,

   if(jQuery("textarea#uniqueId").length)
   {
     jQuery("textarea#uniqueId").bind("click change keypress", function(e){
         ....
         ....
     });
   }
   

   Or if the element is exists in page then write your code in document ready function like,

   $(function(){
     jQuery("textarea#uniqueId").bind("click change keypress", function(e){
         ....
         ....
     });
   });
   

   Also id must be unique if you id conflicts with other elements the you should specify element with id like textarea#uniqueid
