Answer 1

LiveQuery is pretty good for dealing with dynamic elements.

I assume you have some kind of trigger for the animation?

The code line you supplied will run the animation whenever the code line is reached in the code - what it seems you want, is to bind an animation to an element, and execute it later.

Try, for example,

$('.tls').live('click', function(ev) { 
    $(this).animate({left: '-=50px'}, 'slow'}); 
    // Add any necessary event handling here, for example
    ev.preventDefault();
    ev.stopPropagation();
});

How are you making the live call? Maybe you should use delegate instead: http://api.jquery.com/delegate/
