The code you linked to does work, it's just that because you used live() (which is a deprecated function from version 1.7 on), the handler is bound to the top level element, the document, and it uses event bubbling to figure out the original element and see if it matches your selector.

Because you tried to call the $.eventReport() for a specific selector, rather than document, nothing was returned.

If you change live to on, you will see that the alert does show something (jsFiddle). Alternatively, if you omit the selector to $.eventReport() altogether, you will also see that a click event is bound (jsFiddle).

Example for the former:

$(function() {
    $('#firstname').on("click", function(e) {
        alert('clicked');
    });

    alert($.eventReport('#firstname'));
});​
