Description

live() does not seem to work for an id selector which does not exist initially but is inserted later in DOM through AJAX. It seems to work fine if I use a class selector for the same element.

I added one example to illustrate the issue.

<script>
    $(function() {
        $("#fooid").live("click", function() {
            alert('here');
        });
        $(".fooclass").live("click", function() {
            alert('here');
        });

        $("body").append("<a id='fooid' href='javascript:void(0)'>Click Me. I do not work.</a><br/><br/>");
        $("body").append("<a class='fooclass'  href='javascript:void(0)'>Click Me. I will work.</a>");
    });
</script>
