AJAX and jQuery - problem using .live

[longtone]

Using jQuery and AJAX, I am filling a div ' #pic_frame ', by calling a js function 'picShow()'

 

picShow first resizes and hides some images, then it calls a function 'append()' which appends some divs with overlay images, then it sets an Interval on a function 'slideshow()'

 

On first loading the page this all works, but on reloading '#pic_frame' with AJAX, everything works except 'append()'

 

I know .live is probably the answer, I just can't see how to use it

 

I've tried:

$("#pic_frame").live('load', function(){
   append();
});

 

but no joy

 

does anyone know how I get this to work?

 

the thing that confuses me is why setInterval works, but not simply calling a function

I've found an answer:

 

setInterval does not work, it's already running before the AJAX so it carries on

 

I used a callback after the AJAX function to run the same functions that run when the page is loaded

 

seems to solve the problem
