when using jquery dialog, how do you call functions when populating via ajax

Question

i am trying to get asmSelect, which works fine on its own:

but i am now trying to get it to work on a page that get dynamically populated into a jquery UI dialog popup but it doesn't seem to be working. I am basically mimicing the code below and rendering a partialresult inside of a dialog.

i guess my question is when you are loading stuff dynamically through ajax, this code in asmSelect doesn't seem to work as the code isn't there yet.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("select[multiple]").asmSelect();
    });
 </script>

where can i put this ? do i need to shove all of the jquery references and this code into the usercontrol?

Since your code copies this tutorial, you would want to add your .asmSelect() call after the $('#container').append(htmlResult); call like this (Just the get sample shown here):

$.get(
    "Home/RandomPopupView",
    function( htmlResult ){
        $('#RandomModal').remove();
        $('#container').append( htmlResult );
        $("#container select[multiple]").asmSelect();
        $('#RandomModal').dialog();
    });
