CSS not applying to jquery ajax content

Question

I have a page that has a jquery AJAX function

$(document).ready(function() { 
        var options = { 
            target: '#return',
            beforeSend: function() {
                $('#processing').show();
            },
            complete: function() {
                $('#processing').hide();
                $("#SymbolSearchResults tr:even").addClass("SSOdd");
                $("#previous").click(function(){ changestart('back'); });
                $("#next").click(function(){ changestart("forward"); });
                $("#lookup").click(changestart);
            }
            }; 
        $('#SymbolSearchForm').ajaxForm(options); 
    }); 

    function changestart(direction) 
    {
        var rowsElement  = $("#maxrows");
        var rowsValue    = parseInt(rowsElement.val());
        var startElement = $("#startID");
        var value        = parseInt(startElement.val());
        startElement.val(direction == "forward" ? value + rowsValue : direction == "back" ?
value - rowsValue : 1);
    }

</script>

I was having trouble rebinding the click handlers to the #next, #lookup and #previous as well as the class SSOdd to the table #SymbolSearchResults tr:even. I fixed it by adding it into the complete function. However I cannot apply any styles to the target div #return. I can style elements in the #return by ID, but again, nothing to the #return div itself. Is there a solution to this? I can only style the div by using inline CSS in the html page, not desired. I also think maybe I should use the .live function for the click functions inside the complete function? can you add a class with .live?

Please help unf**ck my code!

thx

Answer 1

It doesn't appear to be linking via the ID identifier as you said, but I can change the class of that div to .purchase, and it takes on those class attributes. Possibly change the declaration to div.return and the id='return' to class='return'.

Edit

Going to update this until I find the answer on why it's not working, or someone else posts. So far, I'm able to reference the div via document.getElementById('return').style.color = '#FFFFFF';
