    container: $("#inputContainer"),
    initialize: function()
    {
        for(var i=0; i < 5; i++)
        {
            $("").changed( aCustomObject.changeHandler );
        }
    },
    changeHandler: function( event )
    {
        $.ajax( {success: aCustomObject.ajaxSuccessHandler} );
    },
    ajaxSuccessHandler: function( data )
    {
        $.each( aCustomObject.container.children(), aCustomObject.updateBindings )
    },
    updateBindings: function( j, w )
    {
        $(w).unbind().changed( function(){} );
    }
}
aCustomObject.initialize();
