calling methods, which one is better?

Question

I'm aware both these examples do the same thing, but are their any hidden differences? Is one faster than the other? Is it just a preferance?

$('#div1').on('click', function() {
$('#div2').toggle();
});



$('#div1').click(function() {
$('#div2').toggle();
});

No, there is no difference in performance. Second one is just short hand for writing first one.

As of jQuery 1.7, the .on() method is the preferred method for attaching event handlers to a document.:http://api.jquery.com/bind/, http://api.jquery.com/on/

Also the the answer from this stackoverflow: Difference between .on('click') vs .click()
