Ahah, this was the problem I thought i was having. I can't make jQuery
work on dynamic content.
If an element with a class of "file" is added to the document, like
the previous case, no jQuery event related to that element works.
Ex:
$(".file").click(function(){
alert(this)
});
Nothing is ever alerted if that element is clicked.
