jquery set focus on dynamic content?
- by Alan
In jquery I've appended a <li> element to an unordered list.
How do I focus on the newly created <li> ?
If I do the following:
$("ul").append('<li><input type="text">hi!</input></li>');
$("li:last").focus(); //doesn't work because new <li> isn't in dom yet
the focus doesn't work, as noted above.
I know jquery 1.4.2 has a live() event handler which allows you load event handlers to dynamically added elements, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('li').live('load', function () {
alert("hi!");
$("li:last").focus();
});
});
