Hi Rob,
I'll get the ball rolling by pointing you to a guide, and maybe some
others can weight in on which approaches are the best/fastest. Hope
this helps:

Hi there,
I've started playing with the ajax functionality of jquery and
run into some quirks that I hope someone will give some advice about.
The first thing is that I have events applied to various
elements for deleting/inserting records and then updating the DOM
with the new content which I'm doing via taconite. I've got a list
of items that when one is added or removed I replace the entire
list with the latest list from the database using an ajaxSubmit to
taconite. This caused some odd behaviour, or loss of behaviour. I
assumed that because I replaced the content the event listeners
were lost too. Now I have a callback function that resets them but
this seems like a clunky way of doing things, iterating over all
the elements each time there's a DOM update. What are the best/
fastest methods for this sort of functionality? Adding the new
record on it's own and then adding whichever event to it once it's
loaded? Or do I have the wrong end of the stick entirely?
If it's easier to point me to a guide or faq about what to
consider when using ajax methods extensively that would be good but
I would really appreciate any advice you can give me.
Hope that makes some kind of sense,
Rob
