jQuery with ASP.Net UpdatePanel

Question

What is the best way to ensure that events are rebound after an UpdatePanel callback?

Suggestions I've seen:

function pageLoad(sender, args){
    //bind events here.
}

or

use the .live(eventType, handler) method to initially bind the events

or

var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();

prm.add_endRequest(function() {
    //bind events here.
});

Answer 1

If the code is event driven, say click handlers (or any other bubbling event) for example, use .live().

If you need things that aren't event driven, e.g. plugins, widgets, etc. Then use add_endRequest(func) and run any plugins in there, so they run whenever an UpdatePanel finishes (gets new elements after a partial postback).
