Menu
I have a <ul> element that dynamically generates the <li> elements and simply want to run a onclick event
<ul id="results">
<li class="device_result searchterm" data-url="apple-iphone-5s">
<a href="#"> Apple iPhone 5s </a>
</li>
<li class="device_result searchterm" data-url="apple-iphone-5c">
<a href="#"> Apple iPhone 5s </a>
</li>
</ul>
I've got the following jQuery in a $(document).ready block but it doesn't seem to work - any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
$("li .searchterm").click(function() {
console.log("testing");
});

Answer: Use the jQuery append() Method You can simply use the jQuery append() method to add <li> elements in an existing <ul> element. The following example will add a <li> element at the end of an <ul> on click of the button.
$("#myid li"). click(function() { this.id = 'newId'; // longer method using . attr() $(this). attr('id', 'newId'); });
Using append() method: The append() method in jQuery is used to add a new element at the end of the selected element. Parameter: This method accepts single parameter element which need to be inserted. Return value: It does not return anything. Example: This example uses append() method to add new element.
if you add dinamically put the click on the list but select the items:
$("#results").on("click", ".searchterm", function(event){
console.log('clicked');
});
