Jquery - Perform callback after append

Question

I am appending content to a list using:

  $(\'a.ui-icon-cart\').click(function(){
         $(this).closest(\'li\').clone().appendTo(\'#cart ul\');
  });

In jquery you could use $() just after your appending contents code. This way you can be sure that the content is loaded and the DOM is ready before performing any tasks on the appended content.

$(function(){
//code that needs to be executed when DOM is ready, after manipulation
});

$() calls a function that either registers a DOM-ready callback (if a function is passed to it) or returns elements from the DOM (if a selector string or element is passed to it)
