Rails UJS “on” for handling ajax event

问题

I'm using the jQuery method "on" in a Rails app to attach an event on a form which doesn't always exist. It doesn't seem to be attaching an event handler when #myForm is appended to the document.

Here is UJS's suggested usage of on():

$("#myForm").on("ajax:complete", function(xhr, status) { ... }

Here is how I usually implement jQuery's on(), but this does not seem to work:

$("body").on("ajax:complete", "#myForm", function(xhr, status) {...}

回答1:

UJS doesn't really have much to do with the on function. That's provided by jQuery, and it takes multiple forms. UJS simply fires the ajax:complete event so you can hook into it yourself.

The selector argument is optional, so both

$(...).on("ajax:complete", function(xhr, status) { ... }

and

$(...).on("ajax:complete", "form", function(xhr, status) { ... }

are valid uses, though they work somewhat differently.
