applying to textarea that is dynamically added to a page

[nicksterFL]

anyway to bind the mentionsInput to a textarea that is dynamically added to the dom?

[ivirabyan]

just call the plugin right after you added textarea to the dom

We do something similar to:

<div id="content_1">
This is example content.
<a href="/contents/1/edit.js" data-remote="true">Edit</a>
</div>

//contents/1/edit.js

$('#content_1').replaceWith('<div id="content_1_edit"><textarea class="mention"></textarea></div>');
$('.mention').mentionsInput({ source: '/users.json' });

Let's think about it like inline editing.

It does not work. I am not able to use @mention in the newest textarea.
