jQuery select dynamically created html element
There are a lot of asked questions with almost similar titles with this question of mine, but you know I didn't find an answer.
My simple question is:
I have button, when I click on it, javascript creates modal window
<div class="aui-dialog">
html here...
<button id="closeButton">Close</button>
</div>
just after <body> tag.
I can bind click event of close button with no problem using jQuery live:
$("#closeButton").live("click", function() {
alert("asdf"); // it calls
$("body").find(".aui-dialog").remove();
});
My problem is, I cannot select that dynamically created modal window div by its classname. So that I could call jQuery .remove() method to make close action. Now I know, I must deal with dynamic elements in another way.
What way?
EDIT:
I think it's important to mention this:
I dont' create the modal window myself, I use liferay portal. It has built-in javascript framework AUI(YUI) that creates that modal window. I can just create that close button inside it in its view.
EDIT 2:
Modal window div class attribute value is: "aui-component aui-panel aui-dialog aui-widget-positioned"
Answer
Create a reference when you're creating the modal window:
var modalWindow = $('<div class="aui-dialog">html here... <button id="closeButton">Close</button></div>');
// later...
modalWindow.remove();
To your edit:
Get the window via jQuery's parent when the button is inside the modal window:
$('#closeButton').on('click',function() {
$(this).parent().remove();
return false;
});
