You need to use a delegation, like this:

Thanks for your quick responses. Ignore the PHP in the jsfiddle - really i should of posted some cleaner HTML.

Yea, I read the jsfiddle and started to change it to use a delegation and my preferred "up, then down" search that I typically use when a button is to act on something with some element that contains both.

Appreciate the help.

Jake - I just routinely use delegation in favor of multiple binding. Has nothing to do with preexistence or not of the elements. I don't want to do 100 bindings for 100 comments

There are reasons for doing it both ways. True, the number of binds is lower. But there is no magic in jQuery when delegating. jQuery is called for every click on the document. it then has to decide if it should trigger user action.
