jQuery datepicker won't work on a AJAX added html element

Question

I have a jQuery datepicker function bound to the \"birthday\" input html element, written in the page header:

Answer 1

You need to use .live() so that any newly added elements have the event handler attached: http://api.jquery.com/live/

$('#birthday').bind('load', function() {
    $(this).datepicker();
});

EDIT

.live() documentation states, that it is a bit out of date. With new versions of jquery (1.7+) use .on().
