alternate.html

<ul>
	<li id="item-1">Item 1</li>
	<li id="item-2">Item 2</li>
	<li id="item-3">Item 3</li>
</ul>
 
<script type="text/javascript">
    $('ul').on('click', 'li', function(e) {
        alert( "You clicked " + $(this).text() );
    });
</script>

original.html

<ul>
	<li id="item-1">Item 1</li>
	<li id="item-2">Item 2</li>
	<li id="item-3">Item 3</li>
</ul>
 
<script type="text/javascript">
	for ( var i = 1; i <= 3; i ++ ) {
		(function(i) {
			$('#item-' + i).click(function() {
				alert('You clicked item ' + i);
			});
		}(i));
	}
</script>
