JQuery bind event after adding element dynamic

Question

$(\".myclass > li\").click(function () {
    ...         


        

Answer 1

Since the element is added after you bind the event, it doesn't have the handler attached and the bind function doesn't listen for any new elements that might be added.

Thus, you need to use event delegation. When an event triggers, it will bubble up all the way to the parent document. Using the jQuery .on() function you can listen for events that have bubbled up from their target.

In your case, you should use the following:

$(parent).on("click", "li", function() { ... });

The above will listen for click events that occur on li elements and bubble up to parent. Inside the event handler this will refer to the li element on which the event triggered. In case you don't know the parent, you can listen on document.
