How to select an element loaded through the jQuery load() function?

Solution 1
The load
function is asynchronous.
Your next line runs before the content is loaded.
You need to put your code inside the load
function's callback, so that it will only run after the new content is loaded:
$('#container').load('content.html', function() {
$('.elementInContentHTML').fadeIn();
});
Solution 2
You could try using the callback for when load completes? See http://api.jquery.com/load/
$('#result').load('ajax/test.html', function() {
alert('Load was performed.');
});

I am currently having trouble with the following (here is some sample code first):
<div id="container"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> $('#container').load('content.html'); $('.elementInContentHTML').fadeIn(); </script>
In short, I want to be able to access elements that have been dynamically added to a page without attaching them to event handlers.
I know about the
live()
method, but I do not want to bind my action to any event, i.e. I just want to run some actions with these new elements without clicking them, focusing, blurring, etc.
