Question

I write a simple piece of code that creates a div and assign it a class name:

$('#create_div').click( 
function() {    
  div = $("<div>").addClass("myClass");
  $("body").append(div); 
} 
);

Ok: after “create_div” button is fired the function appends the new div to body container.

Now… : How to select the new element created ? How do I reach it?
I have tried:

$('.myClass').click( 
function() {    
  // do something 
} 
);

but it doesn’t works.
Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

$('.myClass').live('click', 
function() {    
  // do something 
} 
);

Should bind to an element that is created after the DOM is loaded.
