Why selector ":button" doesn't work with click event?

javascript, jquery

Solution

Make sure you put your code in the jQuery document ready function:

$(function(){

   /** YOUR CODE **/
   $(":button").click(function () {
       alert("click");
       return false;
   });

});

But as I see from your comments on the OP, you actually might want to do this:

$(function(){

   /** YOUR CODE **/
   $(":submit").click(function () {
       alert("click");
       return false;
   });

});

Problem

Hi I'm using the Jquery selector ":button" but doesn't work combine with click event.... ``` $(":button").click(function () { alert("click"); return false; }); ```
