Bind scroll Event To Dynamic DIV?

Question

For example, after using AJAX, I'll have a scrollable DIV. How to bind scroll events to it?

I've tried:

$(window).on("scroll", ".mydiv", function(){...})
$(document).on("scroll", ".mydiv", function(){...})
$(".mydiv").on("scroll", function(){...})
$(".mydiv").scroll(function(){...})

But they didn't work.

Answer 1

I'm having the same issue and I've found the following in the jQuery .on() API:

In all browsers, the load, scroll, and error events (e.g., on an element) do not bubble. In Internet Explorer 8 and lower, the paste and reset events do not bubble. Such events are not supported for use with delegation, but they can be used when the event handler is directly attached to the element generating the event.

So unfortunately this doesn't appear to be possible.

try this modified from your code

http://jsfiddle.net/apDBE/

$(document).ready(function(){

    // Trigger
    $("#btn").click(function(){
        if ($(".myDiv").length == 0) // Append once
        $("body").append('<div class="myDiv"><br><br><p>Content1<p><br><br><p>Content2<p><br><br></div>');
    });

    // Not working
    $(".myDiv").scroll(function(){
        alert("A");
    });

    // Not working
    $(document).on("scroll", ".myDiv", function(){
        alert("A");
    });
});

Hope this help

It's work by attaching on directly, check example bellow.

Hope this helps.

$("body").append('<div class="myDiv"><br><br><p>Content1<p><br><br><p>Content2<p><br><br></div>');

$(".myDiv").on("scroll", function(){
  	 console.log("scrolling");
});	

	body{ font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; }
	
	.myDiv{
		height: 90px;
		width: 300px;
		border: 1px solid;
		background-color: lavender;
		overflow: auto;
	}
