I am attempting to create a table row with a button in it that when clicked creates a new table row. The new row also has the same "add line" button on it and I would like to be able to click that button to add another row. But I cannot seem to get the click event to bind to an element that is appended within the click event. I am sure I am using "on" incorrectly but I can't seem to figure out how to do this.

my (simplified) html
<table id="ct">
<tbody>
<tr id="list_items_11" class="list_item">
<td>This Line</td>
<td><input type="button" name="addNewArea" class="addNewArea button" value="+"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
my (simplified) javascript
$('#ct tbody tr td').on('click', '.addNewArea', function(event) {
var areaCount = $('#ct tbody tr').length;
var newAreaLine = '<tr id="list_items_' + areaCount + '" class="list_item"><td>New Line</td><td><input type="button" name="addNewArea" class="addNewArea button" value="+" /></td></tr>';
$(newAreaLine).appendTo('#ct tbody');
$(this).remove();
});
Thanks in advance.
