Morning people. How to make my javascript or jquery works in dynamically generated content.
Basically, i have created web page that generates contents, base on what user clicks on the navigation menu.
The problems i am facing:
- when main page generate contents from content-page, jquery or javascript won't work.
- but when i open up the content-page alone, everything works.
Information collected through searching:
jQuery.load() method ignores the script tag that comes together with the that content generated dynamically.
So i try the following:
- Put the tag that i need in main page, not in content-page. it doesn't work. seem like the jquery can't find the content element, because they are dynamically generated.
- Since jQuery.load() ignores script tag, I tried pure javascript ajax like how w3schools.com teaches, the xmlhttp way, to generate the content. It doesn't work.
- When a button is clicked. no response in console.
Example contact.php
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#submitUser").click(function(e) {
var fname = $("#fname").val();
$("#theresult").text(fname);
e.preventDefault();
});
});
<form id="contactForm">
<label for='fname' >First Name</label><br/>
<input id="fname" type="text" name="fname" maxlength="100" />
</form>
<div id="theresult"></div>
When this contact.php is dynamically generated into other page, it doesn't work. When I click "submit" button, console shows no response. seem like the jquery is not exists.
But when I open it alone in browser, it works.
