JQuery and live()

Question

Trying to add more fields to a dynamically generated form. User clicks 'add multiple choice' button, a multiple choice form is generated. Then they should be able to add more 'wrong answer' fields to this form when clicked, but it's not working. I know jquery's .live() is the right way to do it, but I can't get it to work.

$('button.btn-wrong').live('click', function(e) {
    alert("yay!");
})

I also sometimes wonder why `$("button.btn-wrong").goToAPI()` doesn't work. — Kevin B, Oct 08 '13 at 17:56

live() was deprecated in jQuery 1.7 and removed in version 1.9 . You need to use .on() instead.

$(document).on('click', 'button.btn-wrong', function(e) {
    alert("yay!");
})

$.live was deprecated on jQuery 1.7. Use $.on , for sample:

$('button.btn-wrong').on('click', function(e) {
    alert("yay!");
});

http://api.jquery.com/live/

As of jQuery 1.7, the .live() method is deprecated. Use .on() to attach event handlers. Users of older versions of jQuery should use .delegate() in preference to .live().

$(document).on("click", "button.btn-wrong", function(event) {
    alert("yay!");
});
