.delegate is what I was looking for $("#pathList").delegate('.editPathway','click', function(){ var x = $(this).data("id"); $('#pathEditFrm').jqm({ modal:true, ajax:'index.cfm?action=loadPathEdit&id=' + x + '&nolayout', closeOnEsc: true }).jqmShow(); });
#pathList is the parent container and the form is injected in via $.load() (there's a data form above it, I want to reload the bottom each time a new record is added) On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 12:17 PM, Robert Harrison <rharri...@aimg.com> wrote: > > I think you need to add an event listener for the class: > > classname.addEventListener('click', myFunction, false); > > > Robert Harrison > Full Stack Developer > AIMG > rharri...@aimg.com > Main Office: 704-321-1234 ext.118 > Direct Line: 516-302-4345 > www.aimg.com > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Stewart [mailto:webmas...@sstwebworks.com] > Sent: Friday, March 20, 2015 12:13 PM > To: cf-talk > Subject: jQuery: firing a click event from a class instead of an ID > > > I have a button on a page with a class attached to it (several buttons > actually) shouldn't I be able to attach a jQuery click event to the buttons > using a class as a selector: > > $(".editPathway").click(function(){ > var x = $(this).data("id"); > $('#pathEditFrm').jqm({ > modal:true, > ajax:'index.cfm?action=loadPathEdit&id=' + x + '&nolayout', > closeOnEsc: true > }).jqmShow(); > }); > > > a variation on this code fires just fine from an ID selector.. but won't > fire at all from a class. > > Thanks in advance > > -- > -- > Scott Stewart > Adobe Certified Instructor, ColdFusion 8 & 9 Adobe Certified Expert, > ColdFusion 8 & 9 > > Blog: http://www.sstwebworks.com > Email: webmas...@sstwebworks.com > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:360275 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
