Jquery onclick on div

Question

Make sure it’s within a document ready tagAlternatively, try using .live

$(document).ready(function(){

    $('#content').live('click', function(e) {  
        alert(1);
    });
});

Example:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#content').click(function(e) {  
      alert(1);
    });
});

#content {
    padding: 20px;
    background: blue;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="content">Hello world</div>

As of jQuery 1.7, the .live() method is deprecated. Use .on() to attach event handlers.

$('#content').on( "click", function() {
    alert(1);
});
