Okay, so i have the following html added to a site using javascript/greasemonkey. (just sample)
- *a id='abc'*HEllo*/a*
- *a id='xyz'*Hello*/a*
(excuse me, i've had to replace the '<' '>' with * since hyperlinks for new users aren't allowed!)
and i've also added a click event listener for the elements. All works fine up to this point, the click event gets fired when i click the element.
But... i have another function in the script, which upon a certain condition, modifies that html, ie it appends it, so it looks like:
- *a id='abc'*HEllo*/a*
- *a id='xyz'*Hello*/a*
- *a id='123'*Hello*/a*
but when this is done, it breaks the listeners i added for the first two elements... nothing happens when i click them.
if i comment out the call to the function which does the appending, it all starts working again!
help please...
