How to retrieve the text of a DIV whose content was changed after $(document).ready()

How to retrieve the text of a DIV whose content was changed after $(document).ready()

I have been using the .live() function for some time now on dynamically added content.  However, I have a DIV with no content that is altered after the document is ready.  I'm changing the inner HTML of the DIV by writing a variable to the DIV like this:

  1. //Write the update URL to a DIV that isn't shown and retrieve it later
  2. $("#updateURL").html(updateURL);

I'd like to read it back using:

  1. $("#updateURL").text();

But since I don't know of any events that I can bind using .live() when you just simply alter the inner HTML, I don't know what to do.  Should I just call $(document).ready() again?
