If so then yes...this will happen because your main page hasn't registered this new content in the DOM. Typically what I do is add an Event.observe() in the actual content which is returned by Ajax. Hope that helps @Patrov - Are you saying that once you load content (from an a href) using Ajax then Prototype can’t “see” your links?

If so then yes…this will happen because your main page hasn’t registered this new content in the DOM.

Hope that helps

I hava a issue with the Event.observe(window, ‘load’, myFunction). I'm using two pages. The first one has a remote link to the second with contents my "event observers". The problem is after the loading of the second page my eventHandlers doesn't work anymore. It seems that prototype can't find the elements that are on my ajax page. (Sorry for my english) Merci d'avance pour votre aide. Thanks for your help. Hi many thanks for this post.

I'm well aware of the difference with jQuery's document ready. After a quick search I found the correct syntax for the Prototype equivalent, either: document.observe('dom:loaded', function(){ }); Or use this to call a function with your 'initialisation' code: Event.observe(document, 'dom:loaded', init); function init() { //initialise code } Thanks for that, I've updated the post Ah my mistake on the Prototype side of things. I’m well aware of the difference with jQuery’s document ready.

After a quick search I found the correct syntax for the Prototype equivalent, either:

document.observe(’dom:loaded’, function(){

});

Or use this to call a function with your ‘initialisation’ code:

Event.observe(document, ‘dom:loaded’, init);

function init()
{
//initialise code
}

Thanks for that, I’ve updated the post

Then my markup will be free of all this stuff and it'll make it easy to update! Hmm...that sounds like a project :) @Anuj
