I have generated few elements in my page using following method. For example,
$("#button"+caption).click(function(){
var firstDisplay = '<div id="firstDisp'+caption+'"><ul>';
for(var i=0;i<parents.length;i++){
firstDisplay=firstDisplay+'<li class="fClick">'+parents[i]+'</li>';
}
firstDisplay=firstDisplay+'</ul></div>';
$(firstDisplay).dialog();
});
and when i create an onclick event for 'fClass' like so :
$(".fClick").click(function(){
alert("hey!");
});
It does not works ! However, if i put the onclick function inside the other function, right after .dialog(), it works ! I have a lot of elements created this way, so I cannot put all onclick events in a single method. Is there any way around this? I am having the same problem with .append method as well.
Change it to .on
or .delegate
based on the version of jQuery you are using..
As of jQuery 1.7+
$(document).on('click', '.fClick', function(){
alert("hey!");
});
For older jQuery versions use delegate
$(document).delegate('.fClick', 'click', function(){
alert("hey!");
});
Use on
instead of click
:
$(".fClick").on('click',function(){
alert("hey!");
});
click
adds click handlers to .fClick
elements that are present when you call $('.fClick').click({...})
. New .fClick
elements added later won't have the click event. But when you use on
, all .fClick
elements will have a click handler, even if they are added later.

call the $(document).ready(function() again and add your code there.
The document gets read (refreshed) again and you can just apply your code there.
What Vega has said is completely working.
There is a hint :
I think in the second line there is a mistake.
Probably you can use addClass method because you can't put id or class in rendering.
Here is an example:
var content = "<div>Hello, World</div>";
$("div").after(content);
$("last:div").addClass("mydiv");
And the class will be added but I am not sure that you can add an id.
