It's a scope problem. When javascript parses that $("#goto").click(...) line, #goto does not yet exist. You need to assign the click handler to #goto within the same function that creates the link.
Try this: function pageReady() { $("#go").click(function() { $("div#content").append('<a href="#" id="goto">Generated Click</a>'); $("#goto").click(function() { alert("hello from genrated click!"); }); }); }; On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 4:37 AM, harry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, all, > > I simply create a button to generate a hyperlick(or button) in html, > can the generated link or button to call controller in mvc? here just > simple code to illustrate my question: > > <script type="text/javascript"> > $(pageReady); > function pageReady() { > > var tag = "<a href='#' id='goto'>Generated Clilk</a>"; > $("#go").click(function() { $("div#content").append > (tag); }); > $("a#goto").click(function() { alert("hello from genrated > click!"); }); > }; > > </script> > > </head> > <body> > <div> > <button id="go"> > Click ME</button> > </div> > <div id="content" /> > </body> > > The problem is the $("a#goto") never get fired.
