jQuery: Use a plugin on a page pulled in via AJAX - ajax

Question

I'm building a simple AJAX driven website (because of the audience, it's okay to do this) where pages are pulled in based on the anchor etc. Simple enough.
However, one of the pages I want to pull in should have a slideshow on it. Once the call is successful and the page appears, the plugin isn't working.
Do I have to re-initialize the plugins I want to use on a page that's dynamically pulled in?
I can't show any code right now but in theory, what would the best practice be to use plugins and re-init JS code on dynamic pages?
I usually have all my script in one jquery.scripts.js file in the head of the main index page. Do these scripts need to be on the separate pages themselves?
Many thanks!

$('#logo a').click(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "./ajax/test.html",
data: '',
dataType: "html",
success: function(data){
if(parseInt(data)!=0) {
$('#cycle').html(data);
$("#cycle").cycle({
fx: 'fade',
//easing: 'easeOutExpo',
speed: 3000,
//timeout: 0,
//next: '#cycle-next',
//prev: '#cycle-prev'
});
}
}
});
return false;
});
This code executes the call, loads the page, but does not re-init the plugin. It does nothing, and there are no errors. Weird.

Answer 1

What you should do is after you retrieved the ajax page, insert it into your website and when that is done you can initialize the slideshow.
so basically:
$.ajax({
url: 'myurl',
success: function (data) {
$('#target').html(data);
$('#target .slideshow').slideshow();
}
});
<div id="#target">
<div class="slideshow"></div>
</div>

Answer 2

You don't say whether the cycle plugin has been previously initialized before running the $.ajax command. If it been, then you'll need to destroy the cycle slideshow and re-initialize it.
success:function(data){
if(parseInt(data)!=0) {
$('#cycle').html(data);
$('#cycle').cycle('destroy');
$("#cycle").cycle({
fx:'fade',
//easing:'easeOutExpo',
speed:3000,
//timeout:0,
//next:'#cycle-next',
//prev:'#cycle-prev'
});
}
}
