[jQuery] Re: if ($(event.target).is('a.edit')) with img

I think u should look at Live Query Plugin.

http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/livequery

"Live Query utilizes the power of jQuery selectors by binding events or firing callbacks for matched elements auto-magically, even after the page has been loaded and the DOM updated.

For example you could use to bind a click event to all A tags, even any A tags you might add via AJAX."

Hi Leonardo,

I was thinking about that too, but I need to rebind that event handler
after an Ajax call. The following works, but seems ugly. Any pointers?

$(document).ready(function() {
function bindBuilding() {

      $('a.edit-building').click(function(){

       var building = function (data) {
         //do stuff
     }

    $.get(this, null, building);
     return false;
               });
       }

bindBuilding();

function doAjaxStuff() {
   //perform ajax stuff

   bindBuilding();
}


});
