jquery - unable to fire click event for second time on the same element

Question

I have a jquery mobile page with click event attached to a series of elements with a class selector. When i click the first element ,everything is fine but if i change page and come back , the click event fires but fails to traverse the DOM. Here is the simplified version.

<div class="someSelector"></div>
<div class="someSelector"></div>
<script>
  $(function(){
    $(body).on('click','.someSelector',function(){
      alert('Hello World') // This works everytime
      alert($(this).parent().attr('id')) // This returns 'undefined' for the second time
    })
  });
</script>

So, the problem is, i am unable to traverse the DOM using click event ,by clicking on the same element for the second time, after returning from another page . If i do not navigate to another page , this problem doesn't occur. Here is the relevant part of the page which is inserted into the div[data-role="content"]

{% for item in user_posts.object_list %}
   {% if item.share_with != 'share with none' %}
       {% if  item.type != 'status_update' %}

              <div class="postInfoWrapper">

Answer 1

If you have your parent div well-defined, then all you need is 'body'

This line

$('body').on('click','.someSelector',function(){

JSFiddle

Like in the case of

<div id="IamID">
<div class="someSelector">ff</div><br/>
<div class="someSelector">gg</div>
</div>

The 1st alert 'hello world', 2nd alert 'IamID'

Answer 2

ok, i solved the problem, although i am not sure if this is the solution.The problem i think is that i am copying a html element and its contents with an id attribute and placing it in another page within in the same document. when i click second time, somehow because of the same attribute placed elsewhere in the same document might be causing the problem. So i removed the id attribute of the element i want to place and using only the class selector. changed this:

$(function(){
        $(document).on('click','.quick-post-image',function(e){
            var that = $(this);
            var elem = that.parents('.post').find('.swipe').attr('id');
            $('#swipeContainer').html($('#'+elem));
            $(':mobile-pagecontainer').pagecontainer('change','#imagePopup');
            $('#imagePopup').trigger('create');
        });
    });

to:

$('.quick-post-image').bind('click',function(e){
            var that = $(this);
            var elem = that.parents('.post').find('.imageGroup')[0];//this is the parent of the element i want to grab
            $('#swipeContainer').html($(elem).clone(true,true).html()); //place the element's deep copy in another page
            $(':mobile-pagecontainer').pagecontainer('change','#imagePopup'); //change page
            $('#imagePopup').trigger('create');
        });
