To

Subject: [jQuery] Code inside click() event not firing.
New to jQuery, I did many searches before posting.
This is happening in both IE6 and Firefox 3.0.13. I've gotten the
following script to work under strange circumstances (explained below
first snippet).
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
showHint(""); // ajax that fires onload, with no problem (but did
try taking it out with same results)
$("a").click(function () {
alert("hi onclick"); // stuck this in there but doesn't fire
either.
var avid;
avid = "#div" + $(this).attr("id");
alert(avid); // this won't work either.
$(avid).fadeIn("slow");
$(avid).css({display: block}); // added this extra when fadeIn
didn't work.
});
});
When I'm able to successfully get both the alert and the rest of the
script to work is when I add another alert in the ready() section.
Then, the code works for the rest of the browser session (even after
the 'ready ()' alert is removed).
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
showHint(""); // ajax/json
alert("hi on load"); // after inserting this, the below all works
******************
$("a").click(function () {
alert("hi onclick"); // stuck this in there but doesn't fire.
var avid;
avid = $(this).attr("id");
avid = "#div" + avid;
alert(avid);
$(avid).fadeIn("slow");
$(avid).css({display: block}); // added this extra when fadeIn
didn't work.
});
});
Any clue why this would be happening?
Thanks,
Pat.
