My code wont execute the alert() function. Can anybody help me? Here is the code:

hook.txt:

<html>
<div id="text">
  <a href="#" class="name">george lucas</a> &nbsp;
  <span class="fadetxt">knows</span> 
  <span class="subjectnames">physiology</span>
</div>
<div class="detail"></div>
</html>

knowledge.txt:

<html><p class="subjecttitle>Physiology</p></html>

javascript:

     $(document).ready( function(){
    $('#stdmatch').load("/hook.txt");
            $('.subjectnames').click(function(){
            $(this).alert("data");  


        });
                  });

    @katie: You have to use $.live() in order to match the class which was generated via $.load:

    $('.subjectnames').live('click', function(e) {
   e.preventDefault();
   alert('data');
});

    Since the class is on a <span>, I suggest you update hook.txt to

    <div id="text">
    <a href="#" class="name">george lucas</a> &nbsp;
    <span class="fadetxt">knows</span> 
    <a href="#" class="subjectnames"><span>physiology</span></a>
</div>
<div class="detail"></div>
