jQuery event not firing in IE9

Question

4.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a div that I populate with a table. The actual code for the table is create from a webservice and then loaded into the div using Ajax. I then have a function that looks like this:

JavaScript

$('.myTableRowClass').live('click', function() {
     alert('I was clicked');
});

This works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but does not seem to work in IE. I cant seem to figure out why.

Thanks in advance,
-Dom

There are a lot of JS/Jquery complaints against IE9 and IMO, there's nothing much we can do about it. However, I found this[^] post, that claims that jQuery 1.5.1 supports IE9. Might want to consider upgrading your version jQuery that you are using.

Awesome, thanks, but I am using 1.6.1 already. I have ended up writing a little work around for IE that will do for now!

Solution 2

why don't you try simple click function instead of live as:

HTML

$('#xxx').click(function () {
....
});

.live is deprecated in jQuery 1.7.1 and in the documentation,it was suggested to use .on() in place of .live,

can u try like this

$('.myTableRowClass').on('click', function() {
     alert('I was clicked');
});
