猫头鹰传送带，ajax负载

I'm creating a page that loads external content via ajax.

$(".link").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault()
    $("#ajax-container")load("external-file.php");
});

This works but the content in the external files contain a Owl Carousel, which appear in the loaded html, but do not (re)initialise.

According to the Owl docs, and the simialr post here (How to reinitialize Owl Carousel after ajax call) I need to destroy and then reinitiate the carousel. This works perfectly when attached to an independant click.

$(".button").click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault()
    $("#carousel").data('owlCarousel').destroy();
    $("#carousel").owlCarousel();
});

but I need this to happen without an additional click once the ajax file has loaded. I have tried all of the following methods with no luck.

// adding to original
$(".link").click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault()
    $("#ajax-container")load("external-file.php");
    $("#carousel").data('owlCarousel').destroy();
    $("#carousel").owlCarousel();
});

// in addition to original
$(".link-second-classname").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault()
    $("#carousel").data('owlCarousel').destroy();
    $("#carousel").owlCarousel();
});

// ajaxComplete
$(document).ajaxComplete(function(e){
    e.preventDefault()
    $("#carousel").data('owlCarousel').destroy();
    $("#carousel").owlCarousel();
});

// ajaxSuccess
$(document).ajaxSuccess(function(e){
    e.preventDefault()
    $("#carousel").data('owlCarousel').destroy();
    $("#carousel").owlCarousel();
});

Any help or suggestions would be massively appreciated.

Thanks.
