My question's are 1. If you have a Div class= content with children anchors. Then empty and load in new content in that div with children anchor those anchors will get the same event handling that the previous anchors had right?
2 if it were a .click event to the div insted of the actual object how could you differentiate between a click on an anchor with a class of slider or an anchor with a class of dragable? 3 and finally how would I find the ID of an <LI> that an object is a child of like in the channels div this is what I will be loading in <div id="content"> <div id="entertainment"> <form> <div id="fulltop" class="text"> <a class="slider"id="aft">back</a> <a class="slider"id="for">forward</a> <ul> <li> <a href="a.html" id="a1" class="dragable"> <img src="../images/ entertainment.jpg" alt="Click ME"/> <p> <strong>Entertainment</strong><br/> <small>COMEDY CENTRAL, E!, FX, SCI-FI, SPIKE, STARZ, USA, and WGN </small> </p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="b.html" class="dragable"> <img src="../images/entertainment.jpg" alt="Click ME"/> <p> <strong>Family</strong><br/> <small>BOOMERANG, DISNEY, TV LAND, NOGGIN </small> </p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="c.html" class="dragable"> <img src="../images/entertainment.jpg" alt="Click ME"/> <p> <strong>News</strong><br/> <small>BLOOMBERG, CNBC, FOX NEWS, NASA</small> </p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="d.html" class="dragable"> <img src="../images/entertainment.jpg" alt="Click ME"/> <p> <strong>Sports</strong><br/> <small>BIG TEN, ESPN, OUTDOOR CHANNEL</small> </p> </a> </li> </ul> </div> </form><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/ ><br/><br/> </div><!-- end entertainment --> <div id="channels'> <ul> <li id="cnn"> <a href="#">CNN</a> </li> <li id="espn"> <a href="#">ESPN</a> </li> <li id="abc"> <a href="#">ABC</a> </li> </ul> </div><!-- end channels --> </div><!-- end content--> basically the entertainment div holds horizontal sliders that animate on hover when you click a slider it populates the channels div with the channels for that category I can do the pages alone and but when I try to load content via ajax it crashes horribly even calling the same page and reloading the same content stops the scripts Please help my lost code find its mate! the 3 functions i need bind or event delegate 1. (#content li).hover animate for the slider 2. (#content li).click get li id and fill channels div 3. (#channels a).click get parent id and append to another un named dive to display selected channels which I haven't fleshed out yet the things I don't understand are binding and event delegation and a bonus would be knowing how to find the ID of the parent of a clicked object note livequery is also not an option due all the channels that would need rebinding Thanks John Benson
