Event binding on dynamically created elements? (23 answers)

Closed 9 years ago.

I am creating a button using javascipt like below:

 "<div class='row'><button id='rkeys'>Related<button></div></div>"

  $('#search_results').append(html_result)

And below that I have the functions which is waiting for a click event on '#rkeys' id, but nothing happens when I press that button.

 related_keys = ->
   console.log('click')
 $('#rkeys').on 'click', related_keys

What can I do to make this work.

Answer 1

You need event delegation:

Event delegation allows us to attach a single event listener, to a parent element, that will fire for all descendants matching a selector, whether those descendants exist now or are added in the future.

$('#search_results').on('click','#rkeys',function(){
    //click event code.
}); 

Answer 2

Try this:

related_keys = ->
   console.log('click')
 $('#search_results').on 'click','button', related_keys
