    copied!<p>I would really appreciate your help, as I been looking over and over and completely lost in what could go wrong.</p> <p>I have an Ajax call to web service, and from this call I am building some HTML structure. Up to this point everything is good, the data get pulled and I can visually see the structure.</p> <p>However as my code continues and I try to read those elements later for some more manipulations, JavaScript doesn't see them at all, and on element counts I am getting zero.</p> <p>Some relevant code from the project. This function that runs first and basically builds the needed HTML piece</p> <pre><code> $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "HistoryEventsWebService.asmx/getEventsData", data: event_types, contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", dataType: "json", success: function (result) { //on success var results = result.d; $('#insidediv_container').empty(); for (var i = 0; i &lt; results.length; i++) { var insidediv = ''; insidediv += '&lt;div class="insidediv"&gt;'; insidediv += '&lt;span class="month"&gt;' + results[i].month + '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="day"&gt;' + results[i].day + '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="year"&gt;' + results[i].year + '&lt;/span&gt;'; insidediv += '&lt;div class="header"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Jan 08, 2010 - event one&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;'; insidediv += '&lt;div class="contentdiv"&gt;' + results[i].event_desc + '&lt;/div&gt;'; insidediv += '&lt;/div&gt;'; $('#insidediv_container').append(insidediv); } } }); return false; </code></pre> <p>Right after this upper function is done, my code is continued to next function, and that's where I have my problem!</p> <pre><code> var currentbox = 0; var current_box_old = 0; var box_size = ($('.insidediv').width() + 1).toString(); var box_count = $('.container2 &gt; div &gt; div').length - 1; //console.log(box_count); var min_range = 0; setScale(); //making slider visual elements //slider code $("#slider").slider({ min: min_range, max: box_count, value: 0, animate: true, //step: 1, slide: function (event, ui) { current_box_old = currentbox; currentbox = ui.value; if (currentbox &gt; current_box_old) $('#insidediv_container').animate({ "margin-left": "-=" + box_size + "px" }, "normal"); else $('#insidediv_container').animate({ "margin-left": "+=" + box_size + "px" }, "normal"); } }); </code></pre> <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
