I found the bug ticket with similar problem: http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/4762, but it was closed as invalid. The problem still exists for me.
I have the following live event: $("a:not([onclick])").live('click', ajaxLinkHandler); It's not applying to content loaded via $.ajax(...).responseXML which I used to append in the following way: // withing ajaxLinkHandler var content = $(loadedDocument).find("[component='"+ id +"']"); $(this.contentContainer).empty().append(content);
