link-follow doesn't work for content loaded via ajax/xhr

[chadoh]

I'm opening this issue because:

• [x] I'll report a bug
• [ ] I'll propose a new feature

Description

When page content is loaded dynamically, Vim Vixen does not notice it. I have to reload the page in order to use the f functionality for all newly-loaded content.

Not sure how this library is built, but back in my jQuery days these sorts of issues were fixed by changing lines like this:

$('a').on('click', handler)

to lines like this:

$(document).on('click', 'a', handler)

Failure Information (for bugs)

Vim Vixen fails to do its job for a large and growing portion of the web.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Visit any site with dynamically-loaded content, such as a default Rails app with turbolinks enabled
2. Do something to trigger a dynamic content load, such as using Vim Vixen's f to follow a link
3. Observe that the dynamically loaded content cannot be navigated using Vim Vixen's f

System configuration

• Operating system: macOS 10.13.3
• Firefox version: 59.0
• Vim-Vixen version: 0.12

Can verify this is a serious problem. I have a single-page web app, that should never reload the page, yet vim vixen isn't simulating mouse clicks whenever I click a link, it reloads the full page.

That sounds like a different issue, @dessalines. Consider creating a new issue; I’ll upvote it!

Ah, okay.
