$jQuery Tree from json data ---> .live is killing me - json

Question

I'm trying to build a tree from json data, this data are loaded on demand from php files. My problem is that i can't find a way to get to lvl 3 ;). Here is my code:
$(document).ready(function()
{
//Get the screen height and width
var Height = $(document).height()/2;
var Width = $(window).width()/2;
$("#div1").hide();
$("#div2").hide('slow');
$.ajax(
{
type: 'post',
async: true,
url: "getparents.php",
data: {'id' : 12200},
dataType: "json",
cache: false,
beforeSend: function ()
{
//Show the Loading GIF at centered position
$('#loading').css({'top': Height, 'left': Width}).show();
},
success: function(json_data)
{
$("#div1").empty().show();
$('<ul class="parentContainer"></ul>').appendTo("#div1");
$.each(json_data, function(key, object)
{
$('<li id="node">'+object.name+'</li>').data('id', object.id).appendTo(".parentContainer");
if (object.childbool == true)
{
$('li:last').addClass('childfull')
}
});
},
error: function ()
{
$('#loading').hide();
alert('Something Went Wrong with the Loading please hit back in a minute');
},
complete: function ()
{
$('#loading').hide();
}
});
function getChild(id, node)
{
$.ajax(
{
type: 'post',
async: true,
url: "getchilds.php",
data: {'id' : id},
dataType: "json",
cache: false,
beforeSend: function ()
{
$('#loading').show();
},
success: function(json_data)
{
$('<ul class="childContainer"></ul>').appendTo(node);
$.each(json_data, function(key, object)
{
$('<li id="node">'+object.name+'</li>').data('id', object.id).appendTo(".childContainer");
if (object.childbool == true)
{
$('li:last').addClass('childfull')
}
});
},
error: function ()
{
$('#loading').hide();
alert('Something Went Wrong with the Loading please hit back in a minute');
},
complete: function()
{
$('#loading').hide();
}
});
}
$("li.childfull, li.openchildfull").live('click',function()
{
if ($('li.childfull'))
{
var node = $(this);
var id= $(this).data('id');
$(node).html(getChild(id, node));
$(node).removeClass().addClass('openchildfull');
}
else
{
$(node).removeClass().addClass('childfull');
$(node).children().remove();
}
});
});
I think .live is killing me. I get my parents on load; when I click on one I get its children ALL pretty and well, but when I click on a child to get its children I get a very funny behavior. I get its children correctly indented but with no class="childfull" and I get an other copy of them not properly indented but with correct class.. I don't know what is going wrong... Any ideas/corrections are welcome.
P.S: You don't want me to describe to you what happens when I click on the messed up 3rd lvl childfull :P.

Instead of going through the headache of building your own tree, have a look at the jstree plugin. You can pass different formats to it, including json. It allows for complete customization and allows infinite(possible :p) child levels.
