registering event to newly added selector

Question

I am adding and removing items from a ul. However, I cannot remove items that were just added. I am assuming I need to register the event when the item is added. How to do this please?

Answer 1

If you are registering an event handler for every li item in your ul , use the .live() function. This will register the same handler for every new li item that shows up on the page.

For example,

$("li").live("click", function(){
      $(this).remove();
    });

If this doesn't answer your question, could you edit it to be a bit more clear about what you're trying to do?
