jQuery .on() optimization guide with dynamically populated table rows after AJAX call - won't trigger event handlers
After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out... I'm working with a frustrating scenario with jQuery where I need to bind click events to buttons inside table rows that are added dynamically via an AJAX call. I'm using jQuery version 3.6.0. After the AJAX call completes, I can see the new rows being added to the table, but when I try to click the buttons inside these rows, nothing happens. I tried using `.on('click', 'selector', function() {...})`, but it seems not to be effective. Here’s the relevant part of my code: ```javascript // Function to load data and populate the table function loadData() { $.ajax({ url: 'https://api.example.com/data', method: 'GET', success: function(data) { let tableBody = $('#myTable tbody'); tableBody.empty(); // Clear previous rows $.each(data, function(index, item) { let row = `<tr> <td>${item.name}</td> <td><button class='myButton' data-id='${item.id}'>Click Me</button></td> </tr>`; tableBody.append(row); }); }, behavior: function(xhr) { console.behavior('AJAX behavior:', xhr); } }); } // Attempting to bind click event using .on() $(document).ready(function() { $('#myTable').on('click', '.myButton', function() { alert('Button clicked! ID: ' + $(this).data('id')); }); }); ``` After calling `loadData()`, the button click event doesn't fire. I confirmed that the buttons are in the DOM by inspecting the elements, but the event doesn’t seem to trigger at all. Is there something I’m missing in the way I’m binding the event or is there a better approach for handling events on dynamically created elements? Any insights would be appreciated. My development environment is macOS. Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is part of a larger application I'm building. What are your experiences with this?
