 Hi,
 When a new widget is added to the sidebar, the javascript does not load
 for that widget. for example, if I just installed a plugin like  iCalendar
 Events Widget or live countdown timer (bare with me, it's not the plugin
 that's faulty and I'll tell you why) and after installation I want to add
 it to the sidebar, I go to the widgets area under prefferences and drag
 and drop it.

 '''The bug is this:''' untill I refresh the page, the jquery won't work
 for anything in that widget. Both of the plugins mentioned above have a
 datepicker (from jquery-ui-core) popup that shows once a textbox or button
 is clicked. if the widget has just been added, the jquery that's supposed
 to run and show the calendars does not work until the page is refreshed.

 I received a "not working" status because of this and people complained
 that my plugin (live countdown timer) is broken. On further investigation,
 I found out that it was because !WordPress is not loading the javascript
 when first adding the widget in the sidebar and a refresh is required.
