Ok I’m submitting a form via ajax. The result string is a bunch of html links and images which I append to the body of the DOM.
Is it possible to search with jQuery within this new code?

before ajax request:

<div id="results"></div>

after ajax request:

<div id=results"> 
  <img src="somevalidpicture.jpg" class="image"/>
  <img src="somevalidpicture2.jpg" class="image"/>
</div>

How can I run my jQuery code to manipulate that code again? For example:

$(".image").show(slow);

I suspect I cannot access the .image class, because it wasn’t there when the page first loaded. And it doesn’t show up in the sourcecode (browser). Is there a way to refresh/update the DOM?

    You can access them, as soon as the elements are added to the DOM $(".image") will find them. However slow needs to be in quotes for your particular example:

    $(".image").show("slow");

    "show" is a key that means 600ms, $(".image").show(600); would have the same effect.

    Don’t use “View Source” to see what’s currently in your page (since it’ll show what was there when the page loaded), instead use a DOM inspector like Firebug or the Chrome Developer tools.
