ruby on rails 3 - jquery-ujs ajax events are not handled -

i'm trying implement ajaxy signup rails 3. i'm using jquery-ujs , remote form. access signup form $.get request, , displayed correctly. signup form remote:

form_for @user, :remote => true, :html => {"data-type" => "html"} |f| 

in application.js, if ajax request getting form successful, i'm trying bind handler ajax events unobtrusive javascript:

var load_remote_form = function(evt) {     var href = $(this).attr('href');      // load form template     $.get(href, {}, function(data) {         $('body').append(data);          $('form[data-remote]').bind("ajax:beforesend", function(e) {             console.log("caught beforesend!");         });     });     evt.preventdefault(); };  $(document).ready(function() {     $('a#signup').click(load_remote_form);    }); 

chrome's development tools show event "ajax:beforesend" binded, never handled (i have nothing in javascript console when send form, though in rails log see request processed correctly , response send). can bind other events same selector (form[data-remote]), click, , handled correctly.

ajax events binded through .live not handled well. if form rendered part of layout (i.e. on stand-alone page http://localhost:3000/signup/), binded "ajax:beforesend" handled correctly.

my controller (just case, may badly written, i'm pretty sure works):

class userscontroller < applicationcontroller    layout :layout_for_type    def new     @user = user.new   end    def create     @user = user.new(params[:user])     if @user.save       session[:user_id] = @user.id       flash[:notice] = "you have registered."       redirect_to root_url     else       if request.xhr?         render :action => 'new', :status => :unprocessable_entry, :layout => false       else         render :action => 'new'       end     end   end    def layout_for_type    request.xhr? ? nil : "application"   end  end 

what doing wrong? may there better approach implementing such "double-ajaxed" forms?

silly me. i've overlooked potential source of problems. had

javascript_include_tag :all 

in application layout, , caused including both jquery.js , jquery.min.js page. turned out cause of strange behavior. removing jquery.min.js did trick. hope might useful someday.
