It sounds to me as though you are setting up the $
("div.vote_for_selected").click( ... ) event when the div in question
does not actually have that class, correct? If so, it is not going to
work. Setting an event on a jQuery selector that returns no DOM
elements does NOT set up events for when those elements do eventually
exist: it just fails silently.
What you want to do is have the two click functions attached to the
same DOM element, so I would just put them in the same function body
with an if/else statement to figure out what the current class is and
thus which branch of the code to run.
