Question

I am creating some Windows 8 apps and I am using jQuery for alot of my event handling. The problem is that although the jQuery selectors seem to work fine for regular DOM elements, when I try to do a $('.listItem').click() event the selector does not actually work. I think it is because .listItem are elements created from the WinJS library at run-time and for some reason the jQuery does not recognize them.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
Matt

List views raise their clicking through the iteminvoked event – click will no be seen for list view items.

If you have other interactive elements that are children on a list view item you can add the class win-interactive class to the element you want to see the events from.
