click() assigned in document.ready in jQuery

Do assignments in document.ready (click(fn) specifically) apply to newly appended elements that match the selector?

If not, how can I assign it to this new elements? Do I have to write the assignment after every append or is there a better way?

From stackoverflow
  • You are looking for the live functionality. Per the manual:

    Binds a handler to an event (like click) for all current - and future - matched element. Can also bind custom events.

    So if you do this:

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('div.test').live('click', function() { alert('yipee!'); });
        $('body').append('<div class="test">Click me!</div>');
    });
    

    When you click on the div you will get the alert even though it was added after the event was bound.
