Hi all,

I already use both .live() and .bind('ajaxComplete') to accomplish certain related tasks, but I have found myself wanting to be able to listen for the 'complete' event of a specific DOM element which will call jQuery's .load() at various times.

In this situation I don't want to listen for ALL complete events globally (unless someone can show me how to get the proper target from the event object returned by 'ajaxComplete'). I would like to be able to do something like this:

$('.selector').load('url.php',{data:data},function(){ ... });

and then somewhere else, attach a handler to listen and execute some other code whenever that ajax call fires and completes:

$('.selector').bind('complete',function(){ ... });

is there any way to do this? or must i always make use of the 'complete' event within the context of the load() method?
