Thanks, Jay, that makes sense. But I'm still having trouble with what I want to do, which is dynamically add an <li> at the A/C level or B level, and get all the js on the subelements to initialize, and according the specs, Event handlers are bound only to the currently selected elements; they must exist on the page at the time your code makes the call to .on().

I think this will work for you - http://jsfiddle.net/yVM6h/1/

But the problem there is that it still affects B. I have a different set of js initializations I want to happen depending on the depth of the <li>.

Can you describe more fully what you want? Perhaps you give each level a class instead, or determine how far away the root is by testing the parent element.
