Answer 1

Your click event listener is attached to the entire div, which is why it deletes whenever you click anywhere inside the div. Since you have delelm() , you can modify the code as below to confine the click to just the delete button alone.

 $('#parentcur').append('<div id="childcur" class="row mg-l-20 mg-t-40 mg-lg-t-0 "><div class="col-lg-3 mg-t-40 mg-lg-t-0"><label class="rdiobox rdiobox-primary"><input name="rdio" type="radio" checked="" id="rdcur"><span id="selectedItemcur" class="mg-l-20 mg-t-40">1</span></label></div><div class=" mg-t-40 mg-l-auto mg-lg-t-0"><button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm mg-r-20 mg-t-5 rm" type="button" value="Delete" id="bdd"onClick="delelm(this)" title="Delete Row"><span class="icon ion-trash-a"></span> Delete</button></div></div>'); function delelm(el) { $(el).closest('#childcur').remove(); }

Answer 2

Your problem is that you're targeting clicks on the #childcur div and not it's children.

Here's an example of how this could be done:

HTML:

<div id="container">
  <div class="deletable">
    <p>A</p>
    <button class="do-delete">Delete</button>
  </div>

  <div class="deletable">
    <p>B</p>
    <button class="do-delete">Delete</button>
  </div>

  <div class="deletable">
    <p>C</p>
    <button class="do-delete">Delete</button>
  </div>
</div>

JS:

// target buttons within the divs we want to be deletable.
$('div.deletable > button.do-delete').on('click', function() {
    // when the button is clicked, access the parent and remove it from the DOM.
    $(this).parent().remove();
})
