If I create HTML with a jQuery-template and then immediately try to reference an item in that HTML to create a jQuery-UI element out of it it doesn't work:
$(".drop-down-container").loadTemplate(...)
$("#directories").selectmenu();
If I add a setTimeout and only call selectmenu after a delay, it works. Is there some handler I can use so I don't have to count on a delay?
I read elsewhere to use class instead of id, but in my case that makes no difference. Unless I use a delay, class also doesn't work.
As specified in the jquery-template . You can pass have different options to the load template.
There are a number of options the plugin accepts. These can be set by passing an object containing the settings you would like to set as the third parameter to .loadTemplate:
$(container).loadTemplate(template, data, { append: true, elemPerPage: 20 });
"complete" (default null) - Callback function to call on complete. Will always be called regardless of success or failure.
"success" (default null) - Callback function to call on successful completion.
"error" (default, outputting error message to template container) - Callback function to call on error.
There are other options available with jquery-template.
