Yes there are some syntax problems; i converted this from the actual
code in an attempt to show the problem. I also agree $('#divId table
input') should return an array but in my code the alert returns 0.
what i am attempting to show is that when I add content to the #divId,
jQuery can not select the new content.
What appears to happen, is during the javascript function call which
contains the $.post the content is not selectable by jQuery. After
the function completes, the content appears on the screen and is then
selectable by jQuery.
My goal is to add content using $.post and then add event(s) to the
new content. What happens is the $.post succeeds but the added
content is not selectable so I cant add the events.
Thanks for your help.
