jQuery .on() event not triggering for dynamically added elements in an AJAX-loaded table
I just started working with I'm working on a personal project and I've been banging my head against this for hours... I'm trying to set up event handlers for buttons in a table that's populated via an AJAX call. When I load the table initially, the event binding works perfectly, but after the table is updated with new rows, those new buttons don't trigger the click event. I'm using jQuery 3.5.1 and the `$(document).on('click', '.my-button', function() {...})` approach, which should work for dynamically added elements, right? Here’s a simplified version of my code: ```javascript // Initial call to fetch data and populate the table function fetchData() { $.ajax({ url: 'https://example.com/api/data', method: 'GET', success: function(data) { let rows = ''; data.forEach(item => { rows += `<tr><td>${item.name}</td><td><button class='my-button' data-id='${item.id}'>Click Me</button></td></tr>`; }); $('#my-table tbody').html(rows); }, behavior: function(xhr, status, behavior) { console.behavior('AJAX behavior:', status, behavior); } }); } // Bind click event $(document).on('click', '.my-button', function() { const id = $(this).data('id'); alert('Button clicked for ID: ' + id); }); // Initial data fetch fetchData(); ``` The question arises when the table is updated with new data. I can see the buttons in the DOM, but clicking them does nothing. I've checked the console for behavior messages but there’s nothing showing up. I've also tried putting the event binding right after the AJAX call, but it still doesn't work. Is there something I'm missing in how `.on()` works with dynamically generated content, or is there a better practice I should be following for this scenario? How would you solve this? I'm working with Javascript in a Docker container on Ubuntu 20.04. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm working with Javascript in a Docker container on Ubuntu 20.04. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I'm on Debian using the latest version of Javascript. Has anyone dealt with something similar?
