Member Avatar for awk

So I've just been getting into jquery, been reading some tutorials and I've found myself very confused to do with event delegation/rebinding

Basically:

User clicks "Show Users"
result is retrieved using jquery and is a HTML forms and placed into
<div id="listusers"></div>

Then when they click the submit button jquerys unable to catch the onclick event I think because it's an added element, so how would I go about this?

With jquery you can use .live() to attach a function to an event. The use of live allows you to define functions on elements, even if they are not available yet. My guess is you currently use bind(), which only attaches to elements currently in the DOM.
