Question

How can I access a dynamically created element using jQuery? Suppose I have the following code:

for (var i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
    var div = document.createElement("div");
    div.setAttribute("id", "divHour" + i);

    var button = document.createElement("button");
    button.setAttribute("id", "btnHour" + i);

    div.appendChild(button);
    document.getElementById("divHours").appendChild(div);
}

How can I access the buttons using jQuery?

Answer 1

To select the button inside your original loop…

for (var i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
    var div = document.createElement("div");
    div.setAttribute("id", "divHour" + i);

    var button = document.createElement("button");
    button.setAttribute("id", "btnHour" + i);

    div.appendChild(button);
    document.getElementById("divHours").appendChild(div);

    // moved after the button has been added to the DOM
    // do something with the button in jQuery
    $("#btnHour" + i).css({width:100})

}
