使用jquery使div可单击并运行函数

Question

So i want to execute code when i click on a div.

So I have a function

function froth(){$("#area").load("test.html #enquiry1");}

I want to call this function when I click a div

 <div id="t1">Test</div>

So I try and use this code

 $('#t1').click(function(){
  froth();
  });

Nope it doesnt work.

BUT

I go to the HTML document and do this

<div id="t1" onclick="froth()">Test</div>

AND IT works perfectly .

So my question is, what am i doing wrong here? Why would it work when in the html doc and not work when i try and make it clickable with jquery?

Answer 1

The main issue is that you need to bind your click event after the rest of the DOM has loaded

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#t1').on('click', function(){
        froth();
    });
});

You can see a live example here

Answer 2

$(document).on('click', '#t1', function() { 
 froth();
});
