Question

I’m still searching solution for getting values from dynamic created object.

Follwing code generates dynamic object from zip2.php

$(document).ready(function() { 
    $("#submit").click(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();

      var q = $("#k").val();

      $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url: "zips.php",
          data: "q="+ q,
          dataType: "html",
          success: function(res) {
               $("#result").html(res); $('#result').trigger('create');  
        },
      });

    });       

});

<div data-role="content">

 <div id="result"></div>

</div>

It created object like this format.(contents of zips.php)

<? echo " <div><ul id='zips' data-role='listview' data-inset='true' data-theme='c'>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$out .= "
 <li>
 <a name='submit_button' href='#mainPage'><span class='zip1'>$zip1</span>-
 <span class='zip2'>$zip2</span><br />
 <span class='address'>$row[zp_sido] $row[zp_gugun] $row[zp_dong] $row[zp_bunji]   </span></a>
</li> \n";
}
  echo $out."</ul>";

?>

And this script get the text() value from dynamic object and insert it to form.

   <script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a[name=submit_button]').click(function(){
                                         var inputVal1 = $('.zip1, this).text(); 
 var inputVal2 = $('.zip2', this).text(); 
 var inputVal3 = $('.address', this).text();


     $('div input[name=zip_code1]').val(inputVal1);  
$('div input[name=zip_code2]').val(inputVal2); 
$('div input[name=address1]').val(inputVal3); 

   </script>

   <div>
    <form>
      <input type="text" id='zip_code1' name="zip_code1" > - <input type="text" id='zip_code2 name="zip_code2"><br />
      <input type="text" id='address1' name="address1">
    </form
   </div>

The problem is that “var inputVal1 = $(‘.zip1, this).text();” gets null from dynamic objects class name “zip1”.

Answer 1

Instead of

$('a[name=submit_button]').click(function(){..

use this:

$('#result').on('click', 'a[name=submit_button]', function(){..

As you a[name=submit_button] append to DOM after page load, dynamically via ajax request, so you need delegate event handler to that, ordinary event binding will not work here.

Read more about .on()

Note

For general binding syntax of .on() is like:

$(target).on(eventName, handlerFunction)

but for delegate event systax is

$(container).on(eventName, target, handlerFunction)

Here container is the Static-element that belongs to DOM at page load and contains target and both container and target are valid jQuery selector.
