It's better to flag as duplicate than post a redundant answer linking to the duplicate question. – Andy E Mar 21 '13 at 09:53

So if i create a dom element after the above function , it will work without any problems , i had a bug that sometimes its not working as i have to give the same function right after the dom creation , how is that happened ? – KTM Mar 21 '13 at 10:01
