Are you executing that block of code each time you change the content?
The selectors work for the content that exists at the time you execute
it. So for this:
$("li.dnt:contains('Donate')").click(function(){
...
});
The click handler is attached for all li.dnt elements that contain
"Donate" at that point in time. If you later add the text "Donate" to
a li.dnt element that didn't previously have it, jQuery is not
constantly checking the document to determine that you have done
this.
If you really want that behavior of having jQuery constantly check for
updates and attaching handlers, check out the livequery plugin.
