I am trying to call the .ajax() method when a button with id=go is clicked. This button is displayed when another jQuery event is triggered, namely that a button with a class called predicate is clicked.
The button with id=go is displayed without any problems but on clicking it, there is no call to the alert() or getResults() method which are supposed to occur. Howver if I hard code the button with id=go into the page and don't have it generated by jQuery then the thing works fine.
Why does the generated code cause a problem.
$(document).ready( function() {
$(".predicate").click( function() {
makeQuery(this.id);
//alert(this.id);
});
$(".object").click( function() {
//alert(this.id);
});
var variables = 0;
var queryString = "";
var noOfResults;
var formValues="";
var goBegin = "";
var goEnd = "<br/><input name='go' id='go' type='button' value='go'/>";
function makeQuery(value) {
queryString = queryString + "val" + variables + "=" + value + "&";
formValues=formValues+"<input type='hidden' name='val"+variables+"' value='"+value+"' />";
variables = variables + 1;
$("#resultCount").html(goBegin+formValues+queryString+goEnd);
}
function getResults(){
$.ajax( {
type : "GET",
url : "ObjectCount",
data : queryString + "count=" + variables,
success : function(results) {
noOfResults = results;
$("#resultCount").html(results - 1 + " results");
}
});
}
$("#go").click( function() {
alert("We have been alerted");
getResults();
});
});
