jQuery: live function for initializing plugins

i've made some little widget-plugins which are getting applied to eg. a textbox like $("input.txtbox").myTextbox();

now i'm using ajax for dynamically loading content and i was wondering: is there a way to use jquery's live function for auto-applying that plugin to each textbox which will be loaded via ajax?

thanks

Solution

  • You can't use .live() but you can set up a global ajaxSuccess or ajaxComplete handler.

    $.ajaxSuccess(function ()
{
    $('input.txtbox').myTextbox();
});

    You might want to make this more efficient by not re-initializing the plugin on inputs which already have been initialized; something like

    $.ajaxSuccess(function ()
{
    $('input.txtbox:not(.myTextbox)').myTextbox().addClass('myTextbox');
});
