Javascript in Assets not working after Rendering Partial in js.erb Ruby on Rails

Question similar to mine are asked before but here the scenario is bit different - I have a js.erb file in which I'm publishing using (private_pub) a partial like below

<% publish_to "/conversation/update_waiter" do %>
   $("#online_waiters").replace_html('<%= j(render :partial => "/restaurants/online_waiters")%>');     
<% end %>

the partial is rendered on all users wall successfully and no extra or duplicate divs are generated . But on click function (which is an anchor in newly rendered partial) stops working . While its functionality is defined in /assets/js . Now after showing that partial on users if i refresh the page , then the same partial which is displayed due to my cookies , works fine . Any help or idea will be appreciated
