Jquery - binding click event to a variable
- by Kayote
All,
I am really stuck/ confused at this point.
I have an array with 6 items in it. Each item in the array is dynamically filled with elements using jquery '.html' method. However, I cannot seem to be able to attach/ bind an event to this dynamically created variable.
As soon as the browser gets to the problem line (see the area labeled 'PROBLEM AREA'), I get a 'undefined' error, which is really confusing as all the previous code on the very same variable works just fine.
var eCreditSystem = document.getElementById("creditSystem");
var i = 0;
var eCreditT = new Array(6); // 6 members created which will be recycled
function createCreditTransaction () // func called when a transaction occurs, at the mo, attached to onclick()
{
if (i < 6)
{
eCreditT[i] = undefined; // to delete the existing data in the index of array
addElements (i);
} else
if (i > 5 || eCreditT[i] != undefined)
{
...
}
}
function addElements (arrayIndex) // func called from within the 'createCreditTransaction()' func
{
eCreditT[i] = $(document.createElement('div')).addClass("cCreditTransaction").appendTo(eCreditSystem);
$(eCreditT[i]).attr ('id', ('trans' + i));
$(eCreditT[i]).html ('<div class="cCreditContainer"><span class="cCreditsNo">-50</span> <img class="cCurrency" src="" alt="" /></div><span class="cCloseMsg">Click box to close.</span><div class="dots"></div><div class="dots"></div><div class="dots"></div>');
creditTransactionSlideOut (eCreditT[i], 666); // calling slideOut animation
console.log(eCreditT[i]); // this confirms that the variable is not undefined
/* ***** THE PROBLEM AREA ***** */
$(eCreditT[i]).on ('click', function () // if user clicks on the transaction box
{
creditTransactionSlideBackIn (eCreditT[i], 150); // slide back in animation
});
return i++;
}
