jQuery selector after dynamically created element
- by Bryan Williams
I am trying to get an dynamically created element using a jQuery selector but it is returning an empty array.
The first thing I am doing is grabbing an empty div:
var packDiv = document.getElementById('templates');
packDiv.innerHTML = "";
then adding items to it in a loop:
packDiv.innerHTML = packDiv.innerHTML + "<img id='" + thumbName + "' src='thumbs/" + thumbName + "'/>";
after the loop finishes I try to select an item using:
console.log($("#"+thumbName));
and it returns the empty array. All the things I search on show to use .on but all the examples show that is to set event handlers.
My question is how do I format a selector for dynamically created elements?
