Can't access dynamically generated div with Jquery
- by Bug Magnet
Still trying to get my head around JQuery and dynamically generated content.
I have the following code that is dynamically generated with JQuery whenever a user clicks on an 'Add' button:
<div id="practices_div" style="border-top: 1px dotted gray">
<br/>
<a href="#" class="remove_link" rel="practices_div">Remove</a>
....content goes here
</div>
The JQuery code that dynamically loads the above content is as follows:
$.ajax({
url: '/addAjax.html',
success: function(response) {
$('#container').append(response);
}
});
What I'm trying to do is when a user clicks on the Remove link, JQuery should hide and delete the dynamically generated content from the page. The code that does this is as follows:
$('.remove_link').live('click', function() {
if (confirm("Remove this item?"))
{
$('#practices_div').fadeOut('medium', function() {
$(this).remove();
});
}
return false;
});
So, when the content is dynamically loaded via Ajax, and I click on the Remove link, the Confirmation dialogue box is displayed and if I confirm, nothing happens.
For some reason, JQuery is not able find the dynamically generated #practices_div.
Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
