Re: [jQuery] Re: Attaching an event to a non-existing element?
From: MorningZ morni...@gmail.com .live() to the rescue http://docs.jquery.com/Events/live#typefn Thank you, but here is what I read about it: Possible event values: click, dblclick, mousedown, mouseup, mousemove, mouseover, mouseout, keydown, keypress, keyup Currently not supported: blur, focus, mouseenter, mouseleave, change, submit I want to attach an event to a combo box that should be fired when the user double-clicks on it, or clicks on an element of that combo, or selects an element from the keyboard but I think I would need the change event which is not supported. The click event works, but I think it would be fired before the user will reach to choose the wanted element. The double click is listed as supported, but I couldn't make it work. Thank you. Octavian

From: Sime Vidas sime.vi...@gmail.com Second, I haven't heard the term combo box in relation to HTML you mean a SELECT element, right? Yes. To answer your question, I don't see why you couldn't attach the event handler after the AJAX response 1. You get the AJAX response 2. You create the combo box 3. You append it to the DOM 4. You attach an event handler to it Aha, probably I would need to learn a little more. I have done it this way: 1. I created the AJAX request 2. I received the AJAX response in JSON format, and the content of the response contains the full HTML code for creating the select element starting with select... and ending with /select. 3. I have set this response as the content of an empty div. That select element appears well, but maybe it doesn't appear as a DOM member, so that's why I can't attach an event handler to it. Octavian
