adding a new dom element, want to rebind

Question

After adding a new DOM element after a ajax request, the click event for the newly added item doesn't work.

I tried to first unbind then bind, but I get an error.

$(".someclass").unbind("click", someEvent);
$(".someclass").bind("click", someEvent);

Am I doing something wrong here? (in theory)?

Answer 1

Use live() instead of bind().

$('.someclass').live('click', someEvent)
