Is there a variant of the jQuery live () function that is not event bound?

Question

Is there a variant of the jQuery live () function that is not event bound?

For example, I would like to do something like this:

$('.jdate').live(function() {
    var datebox = $(this);
    datebox.datepicker();
    //do a couple more things 
}

therefore, all .jdate fields that are on the form and those that are added later through ajax are handled the same way.

Answer 1

Although the plugin livequerythat @jAndy (or should I say ^@jAndy ) will work, I believe this is a last resort because of the overhead that is required.

If you add new elements to the DOM, you should simply call the plugin for these new elements when you add them.

$.ajax({
    url:'/some/path/',
    success:function(resp) {
        var $resp = $( resp );
        $resp.find('.jdate').datepicker();
        $resp.appendTo('#myform');
    }
});

Answer 2

Place an order jQuery livequery plugin ^{what is it} for this purpose.

    var datebox = $(this);
    datebox.datepicker();
    //do a couple more things

$(function(){
    $('.jdate').trigger('customEvent');
});
