Question

I’m creating an application, with several forms that are loaded after an AJAX call.

Lets say my main files is the index.html. Then I have several forms that are loaded into the index.html with ajax call.

What I like to do is to check if a specific text input element is loaded with one of the forms and then change the value of that element. Is there a way to do that ?

For the events in example, there is the live() method that check if an item loaded later with ajax made some event and then executes some code. Can I do the same without event ? Can I add a value to that input text element after is loaded ?

You can check for its existence at regular intervals like so:

setInterval(function(){
    if($('input[name=my_input]').length > 0){
        $('input[name=my_input]').val('New Val');
    }
}, 200);
