Manipulating HTML snippet after jQuery load

Question

I am working on loading a HTML table snippet into a page via jQuery Load.

When this snippet is loaded into the page will i be able to manipulate the table with jQuery or is it just treated as a string?

When i say manipulate i have onClick events on table columns that need to fire.

Answer 1

If you insert your loaded snippet into the page (which is pretty much automatic in jQuery's load()), it will become part of the DOM, and can be treated exactly like any HTML element that was originally on the page.

Answer 2

Oh, and make sure that your events are binded after the new elements are loaded into the DOM. Else, have a look at the live function.
