Working on a Wicket application that adds markup to the DOM after onLoad via Wicket's built-in AJAX for an auto-complete widget. We have an IE6 glitch that means I need to reposition the markup coming in, and I am trying to avoid tampering with the Wicket javascript... blah blah blah... here's what I'm trying to do:

  1. New markup arrives in the DOM (I don't have access to a callback)
  2. Somehow I know this, so I fire my code.

I tried this, hoping the new tags would trigger onLoad events:

 $("selectorForNewMarkup").live("onLoad", function(){ //using jQuery 1.4.1
    //my code
});

...but have become educated that onLoad only fires on the initial page load. Is there another event fired when elements are added to the DOM? Or another way to sense changes to the DOM?

Everything I've bumped into on similar issues with new markup additions, they have access to the callback function on .load() or similar, or they have a real javascript event to work with and live() works perfectly.

Is this a pipe dream?
