Jquery Live with facebox plugin

Question

I'm trying to use the jquery facebox plugin with live events (the official implemenatation, not the plugin).

My main page loads in a page via ajax. That remote page also has links to other remote pages which i would like to display in a popup dialog. I've been using the facebox plugin for this.

The below code doesn't work, and simply loads the remote page in to the viewport a a new page, not a popup.

<script type="text/javascript">
            jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

                $('a[rel*=facebox]').live("click", function() {
                    $('a[rel*=facebox]').facebox()
                });
            });
          </script> 

is this the correct way to use live events?

My development machine sadly consists of IE6 only[:(], so i can't use firebug to debug the code.

complementing Kobi answer with fabrik comment:

$('a[rel*=facebox]').live("mousedown", function() { 
    $(this).unbind('click'); //everytime you click unbind the past event handled.
    $(this).facebox();
});

so, you can prevent facebox multiply the events.
