Error jQuery(domChunk).live is not a function

Question

I'm getting this error in FireFox:

Error: jQuery(domChunk).live is not a function Source File: http://www.bradford.nhs.uk/wp-includes/js/thickbox/thickbox.js?ver=3.1-20110528 Line: 26

This is the function:

//add thickbox to href & area elements that have a class of .thickbox
function tb_init(domChunk){
    jQuery(domChunk).live('click', tb_click);
}

Thickbox seems to be a build in WordPress feature but the theme we are using uses prettyPhoto.

I have changed this to .bind but it has caused other errors such as
Error: element.dispatchEvent is not a function Source File: http ... www......uk /wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=0&load=jquery,prototype,utils,scriptaculous-root,scriptaculous-builder,scriptaculous-effects,scriptaculous-dragdrop,scriptaculous-slider,scriptaculous-controls&ver=496be2cb050e55197c680d4612290054
Any plugins that re-register jQuery, from the sounds of it, something is registering an older version of jQuery, which does not support have the live function.
Correct - the version showing is 1.2.6 in the thickbox.js but the actual version I am loading is 1.6.1
Is jQuery only loaded once, ie. if you check the source of the page is there only 1.6.1, or are you seeing any other versions output? Any possibility of seeing a page with the problem?

I used jQuery(domChunk).bind instead. This seems to work.
