Question

I’m having trouble with on(), since live() is deprecated.

This doesn’t seem to work:

$('body').on("click", ".myButton", console.log("clicked"));

When I refresh the page, the console immediately says “clicked” even though I haven’t clicked anything, but does not fire when I actually click on it.

Also, it would seem more performant to apply this to the DIV the button is in, rather than the huge scope of BODY. Is this true?

Answer 1

$('body').on("click", ".myButton", function() {
     console.log("clicked")
});
