Question

I have a function:

$('#def_video_settings .add_rem:contains(-)').live('click', function(){
        // do something
    });

I want execute code “//do something” at another place. Something like this

$('#def_video_settings .add_rem:contains(-)').trigger('click'); 

But it does not work.

It is possible? 🙂

HTML

<div id="def_video_settings">
    <a class="add_rem">123-abc</a>
</div>​

Script

$('#def_video_settings .add_rem:contains(-)').on('click', function(){
    alert('do something');
});

$('#def_video_settings .add_rem:contains(-)').trigger('click');
​

This is working as it should.

If you are adding content dynamically, this might be different.
