jQuery live with the ready or load event

Question

I\'m using the jQuery Tools tooltip plugin, which is initialized with $(\'selector\').tooltip(). I\'d like to call this on any current or future .tooltipp

Answer 1

HurnsMobile is right. JQuery live does not support the ready-event.

This is why I created a plugin that combines the two. You register your callback once, and then you will need to call the plugin once for content you add manually.

$.liveReady('.tooltipper', function(){
  this.tooltip()
});

Then when creating new content:

element.html(somehtml);
element.liveReady();

or

$('
...').appendTo($('body')).liveReady();
