Hi Mike,
sorry but that isn't working either. Rather than a problem in
attaching an event to an element either before of after it's been
added to the DOM it looks like I'm having dificulties accessing some
of jQuery's functions, since I'm always able to trigger an event to
show me an alert(), but not so with native jQuery functions like
$.ajaxStop() or $.unblockUI(). For example, this will work:
$.blockUI(message);
cancel.click(function(){ alert("foo"); });
but this won't:
$.blockUI(message);
cancel.click($.unblockUI);
It's frustrating, because I'm running out of ideas and I don't even
know if this is a known issue with IE and BlockUI.
Thanks, and all ideas welcome.
Abel.
