Rails spinoffs - Feb 2008 - Event.observe on hidden element

I use Event.observe to catch a click event, however, the element in
question is initially hidden when the page loads (and all my
Event.observe''s are called immediately after the page loads). So
Event.observe doesn''t seem to work after the element does eventually
become visible (via some other triggers). I could call Event.observe
when the element becomes visible, but it complicates the code a bit.
Is there anyway to get around this? I''ve read around about event
delegation, but am unclear if this will work. Any ideas?

Thanks,

mark

You should be able to attach events just fine to hidden elements,
assuming they are in the DOM, but with their visibility turned off
(display:none or visibility:hidden).
