Hi Daniele, at the time you're attaching the click event, the paragraph has no class and thus it will accept the click event (which then works "forever"). You have to rebind all the events after the DOM has been changed.
There's some interesting reading about events on Karl Swedberg's famous website :) http://www.learningjquery.com/2008/03/working-with-events-part-1 http://www.learningjquery.com/2008/05/working-with-events-part-2 -- Bohdan On Jul 18, 6:02 pm, Daniele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi.
