//deep linking 
$.fn.ajaxAnim = function() {
    $(this).animW();
    $(this).html('<div class="load-prog">loading...</div>');

$("document").ready(function(){

    function loadURL(URL) {

        $.ajax({ url: URL,

    $('.update-main a, a.update-main').live('click', function(){
        loadURL($(this).attr('href'));
        return false;
    });

  $(".update-second a, a.update-second").live('click', function() {
    var link = $(this);
        $.ajax({ url: link.attr("href"),
                beforeSend: function(){$(contS).ajaxAnim();},
                type: "POST",

                    $(contS).html(data);
                    $('.post-content').initializeScroll();
        }});
        return false;
  });

});

I’m using jquery addresses to update content while maintaining a useful url. When clicking on links in a main nav, the url is updated properly, but when links are loaded dynamically with ajax, the url address function breaks.

I have made ‘click’ events live, allowing for content to be loaded via dynamically loaded links, but I can’t seem to make the address event listener live, but this seems to be the only way to make this work. Is my syntax wrong if I change this :

$.address.change(function(event) {

to this:

$.address.live('change', function(event) {

or does the live method not work with this plugin?

Answer 1

went into the jquery address plugin file and replaced this line:

$.fn.address = function (fn) {
    $(this).click(function() {

with this :

 $.fn.address = function (fn) {
        $(this).live('click',function() {

to make all dynamically loaded links respond to the address plugin event listener
