I know exactly what you mean, and it makes perfect sense, and now going back
to Firefox, it works like a charm. Normally that would be enough for me, but
this needs to run in the exploder :-(
Ok, I've gone back and tried to recreate this example, and you are right,
the selector works if I add in an id, such as
$('#containerID form.client').livequery(...);
Why is that? I had hoped to be able to use just $('form.client') [or $('
form.ajax') for some other forms] because it requires some extra work to get
the id of the containing element. I have a custom Window class which creates
new IDs automatically as new windows are made, so it isn't set in stone.
And it seems Draggable doesn't even need to be registered as a plugin since
it probably deletes whatever cloned node it made after the drag is over.
Thanks for the great help. At least I now know what the problem seems to be.
