Select a button with a class inside of a table with an id

html, jquery

Solution

all your selectors seem ok. (Here is a working jsFiddle)

I see two possible issues:

Either your data is added dynamically, in which case you need to use event delagation using `.on()`:

$(document).on("click",'#my_table .btn_save',function(){
   //what you're doing
});

The other possibility is that the selector is added before the data, in which case you need to put your statement in a `$(document).ready` clause

$(function(){
    $('#my_table .btn_save').click......
});

Problem

I have the following code: ``` <table id="my_table"> <tr> <td> <button class="btn_save" value="1">Save</button> </td> </tr> </table> ``` I want to select that button I have tried: ``` $('#my_table .btn_save').click...... $('table#my_table .btn_save').click...... $('table td .btn_save').click...... $('table td :button.btn_save').click...... ``` nothing seems to work, what am I missing? btw, I cant put an id on the button because this will be a dynamycally generated table with lots of buttons, thats why I chose the class way.
