jQuery .on() event handler not firing for dynamically added elements in a specific hierarchy
I've been working on this all day and I've spent hours debugging this and I'm working with an scenario with jQuery where I'm trying to set up an event handler for a button within a dynamically created list... My HTML structure looks like this: ```html <ul id='itemList'> <li> <button class='itemButton'>Click Me</button> </li> </ul> ``` I'm using jQuery to add new list items with buttons dynamically: ```javascript $('#itemList').append('<li><button class="itemButton">New Button</button></li>'); ``` To handle clicks on these buttons, I'm using the following code: ```javascript $('.itemButton').on('click', function() { alert('Button clicked!'); }); ``` However, the alert does not trigger when I click on the dynamically added buttons. I've also tried using the `$(document).on()` syntax: ```javascript $(document).on('click', '.itemButton', function() { alert('Button clicked!'); }); ``` This works for dynamically added buttons, but only if the button is appended directly to the body, not when it's added within nested lists or containers. When I inspect the elements, they seem to be present in the DOM, but the click event does not fire. I've ensured that my jQuery version is 3.6.0, and I'm running this code after the document is ready. Here's how I initialize jQuery: ```javascript $(document).ready(function() { // Your code here }); ``` I am also not seeing any errors in the console. It seems like the event delegation is not working as expected for this particular structure. Any advice or insights on why the click event handler is not firing for buttons that are nested deeper in the hierarchy would be greatly appreciated! I've been using Javascript for about a year now. I'm working with Javascript in a Docker container on Linux. Could someone point me to the right documentation? This is part of a larger REST API I'm building. Thanks for your help in advance!
