Refreshing the jQuery bits after an Ajax insertion

Say for example you've got a form with a jQuery driven autocomplete function.

If you rebuild the form with Ajax (ie re-insert the tags, this time populated with data, instead of refreshing the overall page), how do you re-initialise the autocomplete javascript??

Cheers for any help.

The way I always do it is to use the call back.

When your function loads in the data put the autocomplete function in the call back - so when the data function completes it will run the autocomplete function and rebind all the events - if that makes sense.

Hope that helps

what's the "callback"?

Am using tinman's Ajax function to load in the new html, not Jquery's. Don't have time to learn how to use jQuery's ajax stuff.

Oh sorry I assumpted you were using jquery for all of it.

There is probably a callback facility on tinram's ajax too, (callback = runs when complete). In there put the call to the jquery auto complete function.

Tinram will probably be online tonight or over the weekend so might shed some light on it - but doubt he can remember that far back.
