I have the following code. On cliking the button on the last li, I can create the new li. However, once created, if I click on the latest button created, new li is created. It seems it doesn`t recognise the last created li as the last li. Can someone help on this please.

    You need to use live instead of bind as bind iterates elements only once, however live creates a listener, which attaches events dynamically, even to newly created elements.

    You code should conform to this sample:

    $("#mylist li:last-child")
    .live('click', function() {
        // append element
    });

    tested with jQuery 1.4.0
