livequery doesn't bind after a DOM insertion

Question

I don't understand why livequery doesn't bind the event, but I have to use .click. This is just an example, which might also use the .click(), but in the real code I'm forced to use livequery. Does anyone know why livequery isn't working?

function bind_remove(comment){
    var id = comment.attr('comment_id');    
    comment.find(".remove").livequery("click", function(e){    
        $.post("/deleteComment", {id: id}, function(response){
            comment.remove();
            comments = comments_container.find('.comment');
        });    
    });
}

$(document).ready(function(){    

    var comments_container = $('#comments_container');
    var comments = comments_container.find('.comment');

    comments.each(function(){
        bind_remove($(this));
    });
    
    $(".submit_button").livequery("click", function(e){
    $.post("/newComment", {text: textarea.val()}, function(response){                    
        comments_container.last().append($(response).fadeIn('slow',function(){                    
                comments = comments_container.find('.comment');
                bind_remove(comments.last());                            
            }));
        });
    });
});

What version of jQuery are you using? – Mike Robinson Mar 28 '11 at 03:34 — Mike Robinson, Mar 28 '11 at 03:34
I tried both version 1.4.4 and version 1.5.1 – M4rk Mar 28 '11 at 11:02 — M4rk, Mar 28 '11 at 11:02

Try replacing

comment.find(".remove").livequery("click", function(e){

with this

comment.find(".remove").live("click", function(e){

Could you post more code? You cut it right in the middle of a function. – Blender Mar 27 '11 at 18:15

I added a random id to the last comment, then I selected it with $('#myid'), not using 'last()'. Then I bind it and started to work
