How to use Jquery [removed]() on elements that are pulled in via Ajax?

Question

I have a Jquery Mobile shell page, which I\'m loading a form into using Ajax. The form has some checkboxes, which I need to bind to.

Oddly, I can get it to work set

Answer 1

The way the .on() method works changes according to how you use it. In your first example the .on() method behaves similar to bind and will only work on elements that already exist.

The second example behaves like .live() or delegate() in many ways. And will work for elements that are added later.
