# Live Query: Unordered List Examples (Using Function References)

A common use-case is when a new list item is added to an unordered list and an event should be bound to it or a script notified of the change.

## Binding an event to each list item

The list below uses a live query to bind a click event to each list item that changes the text to read 'Clicked'. Expiring the Live Query unbinds the events.

    $('#example1-1', 'body')
    	.find('a')
    		.livequery('click', function() {
    			$(this)
    				.text('Clicked')
    				.blur();
    			return false;
    		});

## Get notified when a list item is added

The list below uses a Live Query to call a function when a new list item is added. This function adds the following text to each list item: '(Updated)' and removes it when the Live Query is expired.

    var matched = function() {
    	$(this)
    		.append('<small>&nbsp;(Updated)</small>');
    };
    var unmatched = function() {
    	$('small', this)
    		.remove();
    };
    $('#example1-2', 'body')
    	.find('li')
    		.livequery(matched, unmatched);
