I'm having some trouble with my Jquery code.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$(".upvote").on("click", function()
{
alert('test');
}
});
</script>
</head>
<body style="background-color:black; color:white;">
<form action="#" method="post">
<input type="submit" class="upvote" value=" + " />
</form>
</body>
</html>
When I click the button, nothing happens. I checked and made sure I have jQuery 1.7. Can anyone help?

jQuery click not working at the time page loading, jQuery Onclick Method is tried to an element or selector. As a result, the binding will fail if the element we wish to click isn’t present when the page is ready.
Definition and Usage. The on() method attaches one or more event handlers for the selected elements and child elements. As of jQuery version 1.7, the on() method is the new replacement for the bind(), live() and delegate() methods.
The object, embed, and applet elements cannot attach data, and therefore cannot have jQuery events bound to them. The focus and blur events are specified by the W3C to not bubble, but jQuery defines cross-browser focusin and focusout events that do bubble.
The most typical cause for this code not working as intended is that the JavaScript gets placed and performed before the HTML element to which we are trying to add an event handler. When we know the full DOM tree has been built, the simplest method is adding the script code before the end tag.
You are missing a closing ); on your handler. It's causing a syntax error which results in the code not running
$(".upvote").on("click", function() {
alert('test');
});
Should be
$(".upvote").on("click", function() {
alert('test');
});
It works fine if you give
$(".upvote").on("click", function()
{
alert('test');
});
instead of
$(".upvote").on("click", function()
{
alert('test');
}
