Why jQuery click function is not working?

So Why Does It Happen? JQuery OnClick Method is bound to an element or selector on page ready/load. Therefore if that element you want to click isn't there at the time of page ready, the binding can't happen.

On Windows 10, head to Settings > Devices > Mouse. Under “Select your primary button,” ensure the option is set to “Left.” On Windows 7, head to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse and ensure “Switch primary and secondary buttons” isn't checked. The ClickLock feature can also cause strange issues.

Is jQuery click deprecated?

click() shorthand is deprecated at jQuery 3 The . on() and . trigger() methods can set an event handler or generate an event for any event type, and should be used instead of the shortcut methods.

What is $( function () in jQuery?

jQuery (a library built on Javascript) has built in functions that generally required the DOM to be fully rendered before being called. The syntax for when this is completed is: $(document). ready(function() { });


You are supposed to add the javascript code in a $(document).ready(function() {}); block.

i.e.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#clicker").click(function () {
    alert("Hello!");
    $(".hide_div").hide();
  });
});

As jQuery documentation states: "A page can't be manipulated safely until the document is "ready." jQuery detects this state of readiness for you. Code included inside $( document ).ready() will only run once the page Document Object Model (DOM) is ready for JavaScript code to execute"


I found the best solution for this problem by using ON with $(document).

 $(document).on('click', '#yourid', function() { alert("hello"); });

for id start with see below:

$(document).on('click', 'div[id^="start"]', function() {
alert ('hello'); });

finally after 1 week I not need to add onclick triger. I hope this will help many people


Your code may work without document.ready() just be sure that your script is after the #clicker. Checkout this demo: http://jsbin.com/aPAsaZo/1/

The idea in the ready concept. If you sure that your script is the latest thing in your page or it is after the affected element, it will work.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>


<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>JS Bin</title>
</head>
<body>
  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"
        type="text/javascript"></script>
  <a href="#" id="clicker" value="Click Me!" >Click Me</a>
  <script type="text/javascript">

        $("#clicker").click(function () {
            alert("Hello!");
            $(".hide_div").hide();

        });


</script>

</body>
</html>

Notice: In the jsbin demo replace http with https there in the code, or use this variant Demo


Try adding $(document).ready(function(){ to the beginning of your script, and then });. Also, does the div have the id in it properly, i.e., as an id, not a class, etc.?


You have to wrap your Javascript-Code with $(document).ready(function(){});Look this JSfiddle.

JS Code:

$(document).ready(function() {

    $("#clicker").click(function () {
        alert("Hello!");
        $(".hide_div").hide();    
    });
});

Be sure there is nothing on your button (such a div or a trasparent img) that keeps from clicking the button. It sounds stupid, but sometimes we think that jQuery is not working and all that stuffs and the problem is on the positioning of DOM elements.
