关闭字体真棒按钮在Firefox上不起作用

Question

I have a close font-awesome icon inside a button like so:

<button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">
    Feature A <i class="close-item fas fa-times"></i>
</button>

And since it is dynamically added to DOM I'm listening to click events on the icon like so:

$(document).on('click', '.close-item', function() {
    console.log("Clicked!");
});

The goal is to listen to click events on just the icon (not the rest of the button). It works perfectly on Google Chrome but not in Firefox. How can I make this work on Firefox?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

A click event within a button does not work in Firefox, you can just change the button to an a tag like this:

<a href="#" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">
    Feature A <i class="close-item fas fa-times"></i>
</a>

or

<a href="javascript:;" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">
    Feature A <i class="close-item fas fa-times"></i>
</a>

Answer 2

You could use .parent() to select the button surrounding the icon:

$('.close-item').parent().click( function() {
    console.log("Clicked!");
});

Answer 3

Use fa class not fas

<button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary"> Feature A <i class="close-item fa fa-times"></i> </button>

Here is working example

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<br><br>
<i class="fa fa-calendar-plus-o"></i> <br><br>
<i class="fa fa-user-circle-o"></i>
<br><br>
<i class="fa fa-pencil-square-o"></i>

Answer 4

Try sending event object to function

$('.close-item').on('click', function(event e) {
    console.log("Clicked!");
});
