You create buttons dynamically because of that you need to call them with .live() method if you use jquery 1.7

but this method is deprecated (you can see the list of all deprecated method here) in newer version. if you want to use jquery 1.10 or above you need to call your buttons in this way:

$(document).on('click', 'selector', function(){ 
     // Your Code
});

For Example

If your html is something like this

<div id="btn-list">
    <div class="btn12">MyButton</div>
</div>

You can write your jquery like this

$(document).on('click', '#btn-list .btn12', function(){ 
     // Your Code
});

You could also create the input button in this way   var button     lt input type  button  id  questionButton  value   variable   gt   lt br   gt       It might be the syntax of the Button creation that is off somehow

My guess is that the buttons you created are not yet on the page by the time you bind the button  Either bind each button in the   getJSON function  or use a dynamic binding method like      body   on  click    button   function                   Note you probably don t want to do this on the  body  tag  but instead wrap the buttons in another div or something and call on on it   jQuery On Method

the simple and easy way to do that is use on event      body   on  click    element  function          somthing       but we can say this is not the best way to do this  I suggest a another way to do this is use clone   method instead of using dynamic html  Write some html in you file for example    lt div id  div1  gt  lt  div gt    Now in the script tag make  a clone of this div then all the properties of this div would follow with new element too  For Example   var dynamicDiv   jQuery   div1   clone true     Now use the element dynamicDiv wherever you want to add it or change its properties as you like  Now all jQuery functions will work with this element
