You should take a look at event delegation and event bubbling in browsers, the PPK blog is a good place.
Bind will not work after element is removed. It will attach an event to all already available elements, but if you remove that element - binidng will be lost. Newly added elements will have no binding too.
You may find usefull jQuery. Live which allows to bind an event to elements with specified selector no matter if it already exists or will be added later. But if you are using latest jQuery, you may need to use alternatives as it is depricated.
Also you may find usefull to use .detach() instead of .empty() because detach keeps event handler bindings. But you will need to modify your code as this.cell.detach(); will remove whole cell) instead of its children only.
