Ajax disabling jQuery plugin in Rails

On an index page for all my short posts, I have a form partial so a user can easily add a new short post. I use Ajax so that when I submit the new post, it appends it to the list of all posts without reloading the page and the form is also rendered again with Ajax.

Within that form, I have a textarea, and I use a jQuery plugin that inserts into a span element next to the textarea how many characters they've got left (much like Twitter).

On page load, I see the counter and it works, but when I submit the form and the form is re-rendered, the counter isn't displayed.

If the jQuery plugin that inserts the span element for the counter is running on initial page load, it won't run again when the form is re-rendered unless you call it again. Without seeing any code snippets, I think the answer is that you will have to reinitialize the counter plugin to show a new span element after the form is rendered the second time.
