jQuery - Is there a .css() version of .live()?

[Charles Stover]

Let's say the default link color in #id is #000000. I'm trying to do:
$("#id a").css("color", "#ffffff");
The <a>s in #id change every 5 seconds as part of a news feed (old ones erased, new ones created). The <a>s that replace the old white ones will be black (the default color as defined by the stylesheet). How do I change the CSS of future #id a tags? I tried:
$("#id a").live("load ready", function()
   {
       $(this).css("color", "#ffffff");
   }
);
But to no avail. Is there a function for changing CSS values that works similar to live()?

You have a function to change the <a>s, I'm guessing, so when you append the new <a> why not change it's color then?

Got a larger section of the code? Have you tried using:

$('#id a').ready(function(){
    $(this).css('color', '#FFF');
});

instead of live?

Or you could set a timeout to change the colour of the <a> tag that is within the news feed thing =]

.ready() only works for elements that already exist. .live() will .bind() an action when the element exists. As shown in the post, I already tried live("ready") and live("load"). Neither work.

And changing the link color after it exists only makes it more complicated. Simply put, that's the reason .live() exists - so you don't have to add an event function every time you create an element. It's much simpler to set it once and forget about it, so running the command for a color change only has to happen once instead of every time an element is created.
