jQuery - Dynamically Create Button and Attach Event Handler
Calling .html()
serializes the element to a string, so all event handlers and other associated data is lost. Here's how I'd do it:
$("#myButton").click(function ()
{
var test = $('<button/>',
{
text: 'Test',
click: function () { alert('hi'); }
});
var parent = $('<tr><td></td></tr>').children().append(test).end();
$("#addNodeTable tr:last").before(parent);
});
Or,
$("#myButton").click(function ()
{
var test = $('<button/>',
{
text: 'Test',
click: function () { alert('hi'); }
}).wrap('<tr><td></td></tr>').closest('tr');
$("#addNodeTable tr:last").before(test);
});
If you don't like passing a map of properties to $()
, you can instead use
$('<button/>')
.text('Test')
.click(function () { alert('hi'); });
// or
$('<button>Test</button>').click(function () { alert('hi'); });
Quick fix. Create whole structure tr > td > button; then find button inside; attach event on it; end filtering of chain and at the and insert it into dom.
$("#myButton").click(function () {
var test = $('<tr><td><button>Test</button></td></tr>').find('button').click(function () {
alert('hi');
}).end();
$("#nodeAttributeHeader").attr('style', 'display: table-row;');
$("#addNodeTable tr:last").before(test);
});
