Jquery live not firing on success

I'm having issues with jquery live firing on ajax success. Here is my link_to function.

<%= link_to image_tag("cross.png"), patient_recurrence_detail_path(params[:id],f.object.id), :remote => true, :class => 'delete_recurrence_detail', :method => :delete, :confirm=>'Are you sure you?' %>

The method it calls is this

def destroy
  @recurrence_detail = RecurrenceDetail.find(params[:id])
  @recurrence_detail.destroy
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html { redirect_to patient_path(params[:patient_id]) }
    format.js { render :nothing => true }
  end
end

Lastly, I have a jquery live function attached to the link created. (I've used .bind() here to no avail)

$('a[data-method="delete"]').live("ajax:success", function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){
   $(this).parents('div.fields').remove();
});

I notice in my network traffic I am receiving a status of OK for the delete before, so I am a bit puzzled as to why the live function is not being called. Note: I've also tried using .bind() as well. I do have the jquery-rails gem.

Update: I've tried using .ajaxSuccess() and updated my gem, but still no success. Do I need to add something to my respond_to for ajax?

Until now, I didn't know that was even possible! Then I learned from the docs that Ajax events are broadcast to all DOM elements.

As per the documentation, you should be binding to ajaxSuccess, not "ajax:success".

minimalistic answer, i know, but maybe try the more current api.jquery.com/on?

edit: i think the gem just got bumped to jquery 1.7.1 about a month ago...
