Delegated function inside ready function

Question

I am using DataTables plugin with hidden rows, when using pagination, my click event fails without console error.

This is the function:

$(document).ready(function() {

$('#datatable tbody td a').on('click', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var nTr = $(this).parents('tr')[0];
    if ( oTable.fnIsOpen(nTr) ) {
        /* This row is already open - close it */
        $(this).addClass('glyphicon-arrow-down');
        $(this).removeClass('glyphicon-arrow-up');
        oTable.fnClose( nTr );
    } else {
        /* Open this row */
        $(this).addClass('glyphicon-arrow-up');
        $(this).removeClass('glyphicon-arrow-down');
        oTable.fnOpen( nTr, fnFormatDetails(oTable, nTr), 'details' );
    }
});

});

As you can see i am using delegation, but the function is wrapped in a ready function. I'm certain this is the problem. How do i fix this?

The above question was asked in error, please see my comment under the answer.

Answer 1

Read .on()

As elements are added dynamically you can not bind events directly to them .So you have to use Event Delegation.

$('#datatable').on('click', 'tbody td a', function (e) {});

Syntax

$( elements ).on( events, selector, data, handler );

Below code is not Event Delegation

$('#datatable tbody td a').on('click', function (e) {
