I admittedly don't know much about JQuery but I have an AJAX page where I need to trigger a click event when someone clicks a button, but because the button is not there on the initial page load, I'm having issues using the click event.

In my code, I just want to run a function when a button is clicked.

<script type="text/javascript">

//Run function when button is clicked

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#idOfButton").click(function() { 
 doSomething();
});
});

//The function I want ran when page visitor clicks button

function doSomething()
{
//Do Something
}
</script>

Obviously this code doesn't work, but any suggestions on how to use .click? I'm only able to insert JS via a tag management system, so I can't hard code anything into the page. Also, the JQuery version is 1.4, so I can't use .on. Thanks for your help.
