CGI has always been confusing to me, and I don't know much JavaScript. I've already done ...

I've rewritten my family web site using Javascript (JQuery) making ajax calls to php on the back end. It's your standard "bunch of image thumbnails and one main image, and when you click on a thumbnail image the main image changes" kind of thing.

I've been working with jQuery for a pair of weeks and I've noticed it works fine with objects that are in the original HTML document, but when I generate a new element using jQuery the library doesn't get any of its events. Let's say I try to run something like this: $('.whatever').click(function() { alert("ALERT!"); }); If the HTM...
