“Live Query utilizes the power of jQuery selectors by binding events or firing callbacks for matched elements auto-magically, even after the page has been loaded and the DOM updated.”

Implementation

$('a')
    .livequery('click', function(event) {
        alert('clicked');
        return false;
    });

This will fire the click event on all anchor tags – even the ones that have been dynamically generated with AJAX. For more information, refer to the documentation.
