I am using jQuery to load a page by AJAX using $.ajax (suppose test.html).
Its a simple HTML document with a few buttons and associated animations upon clicking them (also using jQuery).
The .click() properties associated are working fine when I load the page directly but the buttons fail to respond when I click them in the AJAX loaded version.
Since I am too tires to actually explain all the glum that I am doing, I am simply writing all the code below, apologies for this. Here are the required codes in the files.

<!-- p11.php -->
<!DOCTYPE html">
<html>
<head>
  <title>jQuery</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="c/js/jquery.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="c/js/jtry11.js"></script>
    <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='c/css/css11.css'>
</head>
<body>
  <button id="go1">Load Something Using AJAX</button>
  <div id="msg"></div>
  <div id="showButton">
      <button id="showLoadedPage">Show the Page</button>
  </div>
  <div id="results"></div>
</body>
</html>

and the next

$(document).ready(function()
{
    $('#results').hide();
    $('#msg').hide();
    $('#showButton').hide();
    $('#loading').hide();
    $('#loaded').hide();

    $('#load').live('click', function()
    {
        $('#load').hide();
        $('#loading').show();
        $('#msg').show('fast');
        $.ajax({
            url: 'test.html',
            cache: false,
            success: function(html) {
                    $('#results').append(html);
            }
        });
        $('#msg').ajaxSuccess(function(evt, request, settings){
           $(this).append('Click the Button Below to View the Page');
           $('#showButton').show('slow');
           $('#hideLoadedPage').hide();
           $('#loading').hide();
           $('#loaded').show();
        });
    });

    $('#showLoadedPage').live('click', function() {
        $('#loaded').hide('slow');
        $('#msg').hide('slow');
        $('#results').show('fast');
        $('.shower').hide();
        $(this).hide();
        $('#hideLoadedPage').show();
    });

    $('#hideLoadedPage').live('click', function() {
        $('#results').hide('fast');
        $('.shower').hide();
        $(this).hide();
        $('#showLoadedPage').show();
    });

    $('.hider').live('click', function() {
        $('.shower').show();
        $(this).hide();
        $('p.one').hide('slow');
        $('p.two').hide('medium');
        $('p.three').hide('fast');
    });

    $('.shower').live('click', function() {
        $('.hider').show();
        $(this).hide();
        $('p.one').show('slow');
        $('p.two').show('medium');
        $('p.three').show('fast');
    });

    $('p.*').live('click', function() {
        $(this).hide('slow');
        if( $('p').is(':hidden') ) {
            $('.shower').show();
        }
        if( $('p.*').is(':hidden') ) {
            $('.hider').show();
        }
    });
});

and the last

<!-- test.html -->
Page Loaded by Ajax.
Not the original Page

<center>
    <button class="hider">
        <img src="c/images/zoom_out.png" alt="zoom_out" />
        Hide 'em
    </button>
    <button class="shower">
        <img src="c/images/zoom_in.png" alt="zoom_out" />
        Show it
    </button>
    <p class="one">Hiya</p>
    <p class="two">Such interesting text, eh?</p>
    <p class="three">The third Paragraph</p>
</center>

I hope I am not making some big time mistake?

Sounds like you need

$('#go1').live('click', function() {});

$.fn.live, as event handlers are only registered on initial dom creation, and you're repopulating the DOM and those aren't attached.

More info @ http://docs.jquery.com/Events/live

still not working :(

Can you update the description with your updated code, or paste a live link? And you did remember to replace *all* .click event handler assignments which need to be reapplied with $('selector').live('click', function(){} ); ?
meder
Yes it Works now! Thanks! In the first time I had replaced it only in the go button, but now i did it for all. What exactly is the difference between .click and .live()? does this mean that I can use .live always in place of click?
OrangeRind
Live event handlers I believe are bound to the document itself instead of specific elements, and so when the event object is passed after an event occurrence like a 'click' it detects which element was clicked, and smartly invokes the right event handlers for their respective events/elements. You should only use it when you're repopulating the DOM with elements such as in this case, you shouldn't always need it.

If i'm reading that right you are adding the click handlers at the beginning. These only affect current buttons. You may just need to change that to a Live event.
