Quick question that's been bugging me - Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm working with an scenario where I try to bind a click event using jQuery's `.on()` method to a button that is dynamically added to a Bootstrap modal. Initially, I have a button that opens the modal and within the modal, there are buttons that are added after the modal is shown. However, the click event is not firing for the dynamically added buttons. Here's the relevant code snippet: ```javascript $(document).ready(function() { $('#openModal').on('click', function() { $('#myModal').modal('show'); }); $('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function() { // Dynamically adding buttons to the modal $('#modalContent').append('<button class="dynamic-btn">Click Me</button>'); }); // Trying to bind click event for future buttons $(document).on('click', '.dynamic-btn', function() { alert('Dynamic button clicked!'); }); }); ``` I've used `$(document).on('click', '.dynamic-btn', ...)` to delegate the event. I expected that clicking on the dynamically added button would trigger the alert, but it doesn't seem to work. I also checked the console for any errors, but there are none. I'm currently using jQuery version 3.5.1 and Bootstrap 4.5.2. Has anyone else run into this question or can provide insights on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can provide! Has anyone dealt with something similar?
