A friend helped me solve the problem. I had to recall the tooltip function in the response, I couldn't use load, so i switched to the $.ajax method
$.ajax({ url: url, cache: false, dataType: "html", success: function(response){ var html = $(response); html.find("a, img").easyTooltip(); $('#'+element).html(html); }, error: function (xhr, desc, exceptionobj) { $('#'+element).html(xhr.responseText); } }); On Sep 17, 12:54 am, Canadaka <canad...@gmail.com> wrote: > BUMP, anyone ?? > > On Sep 10, 11:52 pm, Canadaka <canad...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > thanks for the response, I'm not sure how I can use live() > > Here is a snippit of the javascript in question. > > > <div id="tweets"></div> > > <div id="static"><a href="#" title="this is thetooltiptext">test</ > > a></div> > > > <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/ > > libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script> > > <script type="text/javascript" src="/includes/js/ > > jquery.easyTooltip.js"></script> > > <script type="text/javascript"><!-- > > > function ajax_request(element,url) { > > $('#'+element).html('<span id="loading">loading...</span>'); > > $('#'+element).load(url); > > > } > > > $(document).ready(function() { > > ajax_request('tweets', '/includes/tweets.php?type=all&mp=1'); > > $("a,img").easyTooltip(); > > > }); > > > thetooltipfor the link in the "static" div works fine.
