How to re-bind jQuery listening events in the widget dashboard? (3 posts)

    I'm using jQuery for my widget options setup (in the dashboard under the Widgets section). While in the widgets dashboard I can add multiple widgets to the sidebar, but widget's settings don't work until I actually click on the "Save Changes" button. My guess is that when widget is being added to the sidebar, I need to re-bind it with the current listening events, so they are aware of the newly loaded elements. For example, I can add first widget and save it - then I can actually change its settings to whatever I need (jQuery works fine); then I add another widget but settings don't work until I save it.

    I'm really new to jQuery and not really sure I understand this particular case correctly. I was trying to re-bind the newly added widget on click event for the "add" widget action, but that didn't work.

    I would appreciate for any suggestions on how to solve this issue, or any other best jQuery practices for the widget backend settings.

    Thank you.

    Perhaps too late, but you can use the JQuery live-Methode.
