[javascript] jQuery .on('change', function() {} not triggering for dynamically created inputs

The problem is that I have some dynamically created sets of input tags and I also have a function that is meant to trigger any time an input value is changed.

$('input').on('change', function() {
  // Does some stuff and logs the event to the console
});

However the .on('change') is not triggering for any dynamically created inputs, only for items that were present when the page was loaded. Unfortunately this leaves me in a bit of a bind as .on is meant to be the replacement for .live() and .delegate() all of which are wrappers for .bind() :/

Has anyone else had this problem or know of a solution?

The answer is


$("#id").change(function(){
    //does some stuff;
});

Use this

$('body').on('change', '#id', function() {
  // Action goes here.
});

You can apply any one approach:

$("#Input_Id").change(function(){   // 1st
    // do your code here
    // When your element is already rendered
});


$("#Input_Id").on('change', function(){    // 2nd (A)
    // do your code here
    // It will specifically called on change of your element
});

$("body").on('change', '#Input_Id', function(){    // 2nd (B)
    // do your code here
    // It will filter the element "Input_Id" from the "body" and apply "onChange effect" on it
});

$(document).on('change', '#id', aFunc);

function aFunc() {
  // code here...
}

you can use:

$('body').ready(function(){
   $(document).on('change', '#elemID', function(){
      // do something
   });
});

It works with me.


Just to clarify some potential confusion. This only works when an element is present on DOM load:

$("#target").change(function(){
    //does some stuff;
});

When an element is dynamically loaded in later you can use:

$(".parent-element").on('change', '#target', function(){
   //does some stuff;
});

You can use 'input' event, that occurs when an element gets user input.

$(document).on('input', '#input_id', function() {
  // this will fire all possible change actions
});
