I have a page that looks like this..

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>JQM</title>
  <meta charset=utf-8 />
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.1.min.js"></script>

  <script>
    $(function(){
      $('[data-role="list-divider"]').toggle(function(){
        $('.'+$(this).attr('data-link')).addClass('show');
        $(this).children().removeClass('ui-icon-plus').addClass('ui-icon-minus');

      },function(){
        $('.'+$(this).attr('data-link')).removeClass('show');
        $(this).children().removeClass('ui-icon-minus').addClass('ui-icon-plus');
      });
    });
  </script>
</head>
<body>

<div data-role="page">

    <div data-role="content">   


    </div>

</body>

I am adding html in dymanically from the server in the content area. The problem is that when I add the content dynamically, the jquery function that I created statically on the page doesnt engage..

<script>
        $(function(){
          $('[data-role="list-divider"]').toggle(function(){
            $('.'+$(this).attr('data-link')).addClass('show');
            $(this).children().removeClass('ui-icon-plus').addClass('ui-icon-minus');

          },function(){
            $('.'+$(this).attr('data-link')).removeClass('show');
            $(this).children().removeClass('ui-icon-minus').addClass('ui-icon-plus');
          });
        });
      </script>

If I add the html statically all the code works fine and everything is good. My question is how do I make this jquery available to run once html is added to the page from the server?

I DID THIS AND IT WORKED, is there a more elegant way using .on or is this fine?

//got html blob
  deferred.success(function (res) {

   $(function () {
                $('[data-role="list-divider"]').toggle(function () {
                    $('.' + $(this).attr('data-link')).addClass('show');
                    $(this).children().removeClass('ui-icon-plus').addClass('ui-icon-minus');

                }, function () {
                    $('.' + $(this).attr('data-link')).removeClass('show');
                    $(this).children().removeClass('ui-icon-minus').addClass('ui-icon-plus');
                });
            });
 });

    Since the jquery is currently ran when the document is ready and your content is not loaded yet it won’t find the elements and wire-up the events. Adding your script to the ajax.success should solve your problem.
