jquery function on,live problem

[Trki]

Hellou all!

I am sticked in situation with plugin and "on" or "live" method.

I have this

jQuery.fn.shorten = function(settings) {
  var config = {
    showChars : 200,
    ellipsesText : "...",
    moreText : "Show more",
    lessText : "Show less"
  };

  if (settings) {
    $.extend(config, settings);
  }

    $('.morelink').live('click', function() {
        var $this = $(this);
        if ($this.hasClass('less')) {
          $this.removeClass('less');
          $this.html("Show more");
        } else {
          $this.addClass('less');
          $this.html("Show less");
        }
        $this.parent().prev().toggle(); // skryje bodky
        $this.prev().toggle();          // skryje text
        return false;
    });

  return this.each(function() {
    var $this = $(this);
    var content = $this.html();
    if (content.length > config.showChars) {
      var c = content.substr(0, config.showChars);
      var h = content.substr(config.showChars , content.length - config.showChars);
      var html = c + '<span class="moreellipses">' + config.ellipsesText + '&nbsp;</span><span class="morecontent"><span>' + h + '</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="javascript://nop/" class="morelink">' + config.moreText + '</a></span>';
      $this.html(html);
      $(".morecontent span").hide();
    }
  });
};

$(".status_obsah").shorten();

Which works greate... but when i load new content via ajax to example ... it still transform the long text to short text and add the 'show more' anchor to it but i can't click on it. I found solution that when i cut this part with "click function"

$('.morelink').live('click', function() {
var $this = $(this);
if ($this.hasClass('less')) {
$this.removeClass('less');
$this.html("Show more");
} else {
$this.addClass('less');
$this.html("Show less");
}
$this.parent().prev().toggle(); // skryje bodky
$this.prev().toggle(); // skryje text
return false;
});

Outsite the function then i can click.

And i also need to add this function again after i load new content like this

// some ajax
success: function(data) {
$(".status_obsah").shorten();
//

so ... what is the solutiion here to make it cleaner?

And last thing:

I know that from version 1.7 jquery ... is better to use ON ... but can i somehow remake it to my needs?

THX FOR HELP!
