Question

I have this table:

<table>
    <tr class="tools">
        <td id="dataMenuItem">
            <img src="./view/images/database.png" /><br />
            Data</td>
        <td>...

And this jQuery-Source:

$('#dataMenuItem').click(function() {
  alert('Handler for .click() called.');
});

Why doesn’t it work?

Answer 1

Works here. See example. Have you tried to validate your HTML to make sure there are no issues there?

Oh, and are you applying the click handler within a domready event? jQuery provides a shortcut for it like so:

$(function() {
    // Code to run when DOM is ready.
    $('#dataMenuItem').click(function() {
        alert('Handler for .click() called.');
    });
});
