How do I automatically run a method on a dynamically generated textarea with jquery?

I'm using a plugin (https://github.com/jaz303/jquery-grab-bag/blob/master/javascripts/jquery.autogrow-textarea.js) that dynamically resizes textareas.

To use it I do 

$('textarea').autogrow()

when the document is ready.

However, it doesn't work on dynamically generated textareas retrieved by ajax calls. How can I automatically autogrow() new textareas?

typically you most likely will be appending the dynamic texareas to some container, if that is true, just initialize the plugin to the container scope only:

$("textarea", container).autogrow();

assuming the container is the DOM element with the dynamic textareas

In your ajax success event function put once again the $('textarea').autogrow() after you place the text from request into page.
