Event Binding to Dynamically Created Elements in JQuery
By North Street, A Creative Studio
jQuery event binding is pretty simple. Usually you just do something like this:
$('.gallery-featured').bind('click', function(){
$('.promo').slideDown();
});
…and it works great.
Unless ‘.gallery-featured’ is a dynamically created element. In that case, there’s a chance that the bind call will happen before the element exists, and silently fail.
The solution is pretty simple. You instead bind to document, and using the ‘.on’ function, and specify the element that will eventually added. So the above code would simply be:
$(document).on('click', '.gallery-featured', function(){
$('.promo').slideDown();
});
