prettyPhoto and Ajax-loaded content

Question

I'm currently working on a little product display page that loads prettyPhoto-enabled galleries through ajax. The problem is, prettyPhoto doesn't work on the images added after the page loads initially. I understand that I need to re-initialize prettyPhoto after the new content loads, but how? I've tried adding prettyPhoto.init(); to the code that is returned to the page - that doesn't work.

Page I'm working on is here: http://turningpointpro.com/page.php?id=10

Answer 1

I ended up finding two solutions. The first and best was to put this whole bit:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();
});

into the ajax callback, not the prettyPhoto.init(); function I was calling before.

I also had some luck with using the API instead of re-loading prettyPhoto again.

Hope this helps someone.

If you are using ASP.NET with Ajax, the scriptmanager will allow you to use a function called pageLoad() that is called every time the page posts back (asyc or otherwise).

your code:

function pageLoad() { $("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto(); }
