Adding event listeners to current and future elements with a particular class

Question

With JQuery, is it possible to add an event listener to any element that currently, or will in the future, have a particular class?

I\'m working on

Answer 1

the jQuery live() method swill allow to have a "live" action listener - so if new DOM elements match the selector, they will be attached to the action listener. For example:

$(".X").live("click", function(){
    alert('some action');
});

See the documentation here for more info: http://api.jquery.com/live/

I'm not sure that the second part of your question about keeping the action listener attached after removing the class os possible - someone else might have a solution though.
