Filling multiple divs with single ajax() call, form submit button fails

ajax, javascript, jquery

Solution

Sounds like you are trying to add the click event before the element is loaded on the page. Change

$(".submitAndReturn").on("click", function() {
    alert ('as .submit and return is dynamically loaded. so, use on function');
});

to

$(document).on("click", ".submitAndReturn", function(e) {
    e.preventDefault(); //cancel the click action if needed
    alert ('as .submit and return is dynamically loaded. so, use on function');
});

Problem

The short question is when I fill a `<div>` containing a `type=submit` button the `.click(function(){...}` function fails. What I'm doing is this, `#formDialogButton` opens `#accordion` populated by `.ajax()` containing `#userForm` with an `input type=submit`. When client clicks submit it is supposed to fire `.ajax()` where php does database stuff and returns one of the `#userform`. ``` $(".formDialogButton").click(function(){ var userDialog = "#" + this.id + "Dialog"; $("#userForm, #siteForm, #limitForm").html("<img src='ajax-loader.gif' />"); $("#userForm, #siteForm, #limitForm").load("ajax.php", {op: "forms"}, function(responseTxt,statusTxt,xhr){ $("#userForm").html($("#user").html()); $("#siteForm").html($("#site").html()); $("#limitForm").html($("#limit").html()); if(statusTxt=="success") { $(userDialog).dialog({ autoOpen: false, draggable: true, modal: true, resizable: true, width: 700, position: { within: "#mainContent" } }); $(userDialog).dialog("open"); $( "#accordion").accordion({ collapsible: true, heightStyle: "content", }); }; if(statusTxt =="error") alert("Error: "+xhr.status+": "+xhr.statusText); }); }); ``` This is working and returns a `<input class="submitAndReturn" type="submit" value="Submit" />` in the form. But I can't "find" it to do anything. ``` $(".submitAndReturn").click(function() { alert ('this is where I call my regular .formSubmitButton and let success: function() do a .formDialogButton '); }); ``` I'm a total self taught amateur so please forgive me and try to help. Thanks
