jQuery CSS() for dynamically created elements

Question

I'm using jQuery CSS function to style some elements

$element.css(style);

This works, but a part of the elements are created dynamically after the page load. This should be

$element.live ('created',function() {
$(this).css(style);
});

I'm stuck on the created event. Any ideas?

There's no event for elements created (not universally available, anyway). You could

• Add the rules to a stylesheet so that they are automatically applied to the newly created elements

• Chain the css() method when you create your elements:

  $('<img id="createdImage" src="some.jpg"/>')
      .appendTo(document.body)
      .css(style);
  

• Create a new stylesheet dynamically:

  $("<style>").text("#myNewEl { width:20px; height:30px; }").appendTo("head");
