Adding event listeners to dynamically added elements using jQuery

Question

So right now, I understand that in order to attach an event listener to a dynamically added element, you have to redefine the listener after adding the element.

Is there any way to bypass this, so you don't have to execute a whole extra block of code?

Answer 1

Using .on() you can define your function once, and it will execute for any dynamically added elements.

for example

$('#staticDiv').on('click', 'yourSelector', function() {
  //do something
});
