Button click event not firing in jQuery

Question

This is the method:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('btnDelete1').click(function () {
        alert("something");
    })
});

And this is the code for the button:

<input type="submit" value="Delete Role" disabled="disabled" id="btnDelete1"/>

But whenever I click the button, the alert isn't happening. Why is this?

Answer 1

The problem isn't connected with MVC anyway, you missed # in Jquery selector only.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#btnDelete1').click(function () {
        alert("something");
    });
});

EDIT:

And as mentioned Jeffrey, you forget ; too

Answer 2

Your selector is wrong

It should be

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#btnDelete1').click(function () {
        alert("something");
    });
});
