Hi all,

I'm new to jquery, so bear with me. I have discovered that elements
that were written to the document using the html() manipulation
function can not be selected later on.  Specifically, I have added
some <a> elements to the page using html().  The elements look like
this:

<a class="delete" id="3" href="#">delete</a>

In my javascript doucument, I have a click function to do something
when these elements are clicked, like this:

$(".delete").click(function(){
        do stuff...
});

This does not work and the code inside the click function is not
executed.  However, if I just write the same <a> tag above into the
HTML document, the click function is now executed when I click on the
link.  So it seems that you can't select an an element unless it was
originally part of the HTML, and not something added later on through
manipulation.

Is this normal?
