Refresh events link

In order to load the events created with Fullcalendar create I created a button "Refresh events". In my theme javascript I attached a click function to it, but it doesn't seem to work. Can't I use the fullCalendar() function in my theme javascript?

Javascript:

$('a[rel="rerenderEvents"]').click(function(){
     $('.fullcalendar', calendar).fullCalendar('rerenderEvents');
});
