I know I've read about this somewhere and I should have bookmarked it, but what is the process for having a function running in the background so that if at any point something should change on the page (i.e. a <div> is now shown) that the function acts on it (such as adding a class to that div).
For example, say you have a function where one clicks on some text and now they have the ability to edit the text inline (and the subsequent changes are made via AJAX) because it changes the text they've clicked to text within a textarea. Now let's say this particular text is a date in this format: MM/DD/YYYY This textarea has the class "date". I want a function to run so that at anytime a textarea with class "date" is shown that it becomes a datepicker (see http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker ). Any clues on how this would be accomplished?
