on click not working after upgrade from datatables 1.9.4 to 1.10.4

First post .. please bear with me!

I have a column definition in #mylist datatable thus:

            {
                // the export now button
                mData: "name",
                sClass: "text-center",
                bSearchable: false,
                bSortable: false,
                mRender: renderExportNowColumn
            }

with renderExportNowColumn defined as:

    function renderExportNowColumn(data, type, row) {
        return "<a class='btn btn-default btn-xs' data-toggle='tooltip' title='Export &quot;" +
            data +
            "&quot; now'><i class='fa fa-arrow-right'></i></a>";
    }

I have a handler defined thus:

    $('#mylist .btn').live('click', function() {

        var record = mytable.fnGetData($(this).parents('tr')[0]);
        alert(record.name);
    });

When upgrading to 1.10.4 I have changed the .live() to .on() but can no longer get the handler to fire. Any thoughts?

The table cells render just as they did with 1.9.4.

    What was the change you make to your jQuery live function? You probably want something like:

    $('#mylist').on( 'click', 'tbody .btn', function () {
       ...
    } );
