Twitter bootstrap typeahead unable to add to dynamically created element

Question

Is there a way to convert twitter bootstrap's typeahead function into a $("body").on() function? The following code works fine if the element exists on the page load.

$("#job_title").typeahead({
    source: searchFunction,        
    onselect: function(obj) {            
    }
});

But if I add the text input with id="job_title" dynamically, the above function doesn't work. Is there a workaround for this?

Answer 1

This solution requires no additional javascript. From https://stackoverflow.com/a/15094730

$("#element-that-will-contain-typeaheads").on("DOMNodeInserted", function () {
    $(this).find(".typeahead").typeahead();
});

Answer 2

I downloaded jquery.livequery.js to get the behavior I wanted:

$("#job_title").livequery("create", function() {
    $(this).typeahead({
        source: searchFunction,        
        onselect: function(obj) {            
        }
    });
});
