JavaScript on jQuery created code never gets called

This is my view in ASP.NET MVC.

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Administration.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent" runat="server">
    <script type="text/javascript">

        var ddlContentTypes;

        $(document).ready(function () {
            ddlContentTypes = $("#ContentTypes");
            ddlContentTypes.bind("change", loadCreate);
            loadCreate();
        });

        function loadCreate() {
            var typeId = $("#ContentTypes option:selected").val();
            $.get('~/' + typeId + '/Create', function (data) {
                $("#CreateForm").html(data);
            });
            $("fieldset input").each(function (index, item) {
                $(item).attr("disabled", true);
            });
        }
    </script>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content3" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
    <h2>
        <%=Resources.Localize.CreateWidget %></h2>
    <p>
        <% Html.RenderPartial("ContentTypeSelector"); %></p>
    <div id="CreateForm">
    </div>
</asp:Content>

As you can see, it loads some HTML (actually user control) and adds it to the CreateForm div. This actually works fine.

The problem is this

$("fieldset input").each(function (index, item) {
                $(item).attr("disabled", true);
            });

never runs. The fieldset tag is in the response, so you don't see it here but it's there - everything is returned back fine (I checked with Firebug).

Why do the above two lines of JS never run or have any effect?

I think your problem is here:

$.get('~/' + typeId + '/Create', function (data) {
    $("#CreateForm").html(data);
});

should be:

$.get("<%=ResolveUrl("~/") %>" + typeId + "/Create", function (data) {
    $("#CreateForm").html(data); // thanks Peter
    $("fieldset input").attr("disabled", "disabled"); // thanks Nick
});

That's probably tossing a js exception and it's never getting to the fieldset loop.

The fieldset tag doesn't exist when you call this code. Try moving this code to the inside of your success function and it might work.

function loadCreate() {
        var typeId = $("#ContentTypes option:selected").val();
        $.get('~/' + typeId + '/Create', function (data) {
            $("#CreateForm").html(data);
            $("fieldset input").each(function (index, item) {
                $(item).attr("disabled", true);
            });
        });
    }
