There are a lot of asked questions with almost similar titles with this question of mine, but you know I didn't find an answer.
My simple question is:
I have button, when I click on it, javascript creates modal window
<div class="aui-dialog">
html here...
<button id="closeButton">Close</button>
</div>
just after <body>
tag.
I can bind click event of close button with no problem using jQuery live:
$("#closeButton").live("click", function() {
alert("asdf"); // it calls
$("body").find(".aui-dialog").remove();
});
My problem is, I cannot select that dynamically created modal window div by its classname. So that I could call jQuery .remove() method to make close action. Now I know, I must deal with dynamic elements in another way.
What way?
EDIT:
I think it's important to mention this:
I dont' create the modal window myself, I use liferay portal. It has built-in javascript framework AUI(YUI) that creates that modal window. I can just create that close button inside it in its view.
EDIT 2:
Modal window div class attribute value is: "aui-component aui-panel aui-dialog aui-widget-positioned"
on() method. In the example, I have created an unordered list and a button for adding new list items. In the script, attach click event on #lists li selector to change the background color of clicked <li> . Append a new <li> to the <ul> element on the add button click and also attaching click event on <li> using .
To attach event handlers to the dynamically created button, we need to select the button with a class of btn and add an event listener of click .
Since jquery will read the current DOM-state when page loads:
jQuery( document ).ready(function( $ ) {
it will miss the elements you generate post to page load.
One simple solution is to listen for clicks on document, and filter with the class or element-type that you want to use to execute your code. That way jquery will find new elements generated under document, after page load.
$(document).on("click", '#closeButton', function(){
$(".aui-dialog").remove();
});
