dojo.connect with dynamic content

Question

Is there something similar to jQuery's live()-method in dojo? I have some content that's being loaded with ajax, and need that content to get the same event connections.

dojo.query(".allTheseElements").connect("onclick", function() { /***/ }

And then have the dynamically loaded content fire on this too.

The dojo.behavior module can help you.

dojo.behavior.add({
    ".allTheseElements" : {
        "onclick" : function() {}
    }
});

Then after the DOM content has been changed, e.g. in the handler of you ajax requests, just call dojo.behavior.apply(). Dojo will apply this behavior to the newly added content incrementally.
