I dynamically load in a few li's that have a label and a checkbox in them to another visible ul. I set the checkboxes to be checked="checked" and i am trying to trigger an event to happen when i change these dynamically inserted checkboxes but nothing occurs.
Here is the jquery:
$(".otherProductCheckbox:checkbox").change( function(){
alert('test');
});
Here is the html for the dynamically added li's:
<li class="otherProduct"><input type="checkbox" class="otherProductCheckbox radioCheck" checked="checked"/><label>Product Name</label></li>
Any idea why i cant get the alert to happen when the checkbox changes its checked state?
You have to use liveQuery
or live
to bind events to dynamically added elements.
$(".otherProductCheckbox:checkbox").live('change', function(){
alert('test');
});
EDIT To work in IE, you have to use click not change
$(".otherProductCheckbox:checkbox").live('click', function(){
alert('test');
});
Since live() is now deprecated as of jQuery 1.7, I thought I'd post the solution that worked for me on the same problem (trigger event when dynamically added checkboxes are changed).
$(document).on('click', '.otherProductCheckbox', function() {
alert('test');
});
