Answer 1

Try like this

For example if your input text field is like

<input type="text" class="my-input-field">

In your controller

$(document).click("on", ".my-input-field", ()=>{
   //capture the currentTextField using jquery
   this.removeTextField(currentTextField);
})

   removeTextField(currentTextField){

}

Example Its a datatable implemented in angular 2.. The update and delete buttons are rendered on the fly.

HTML

<table class="datatable table table-striped table-bordered" (click)="onTableClick($event)"></table>

Controller

onTableClick(event){

   if(event.target.className.indexOf('update-row')!= -1){ //will get the class name and check if matches update button class
     this.updateRow($(event.target).attr("data-id"))
   }
   if(event.target.className.indexOf('delete-row')!= -1){ //will get the class name and check if matches delete button class
     this.deleteRow($(event.target).attr("data-id"))
   }
  }
