You don't need jQuery, just use CSS. Even if the element is generated after the page is created the CSS will be applied. Ex: http://jsfiddle.net/YB2bk/. In this example, a page has one div that when clicked, creates a new div. Both divs get the same CSS applied.

Say you wanted to achieve this...

if (myCondition) {
    $(".myClass").hide();
}

But you don't know when the myClass item will show up, you could do the following:

CSS:

.shouldHide .myClass {
    display: none;
}

jQuery:

if (myCondition) {
    $("body").addClass("shouldHide");
}

This means you can still apply the condition by adding / removing the shouldHide class on the body tag, and you have a CSS rule that will hide myClass if the body tag has the shouldHide class.
