Using javascript on new element created by jquery

Question

I have a field location and with that I have a button add new location.On clicking that button a new textbox for that field opens.Now what I have done is I am using autofill address on that location field but autofill works for only first textbox not those textboxes which I am creating using jquery

Below is the html code

<div class="input_fields_wrap">
 <div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-3 control-label" for="example-text-input">Preferred Work Location</label>
<div class="col-md-3">
<input type="text" id="loc" name="Work_Location[]" class="form-control" >
</div>
<button class="add_field_button">Add More Locations</button>
</div>
</div>

and below is the code to create new textboxes

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    var max_fields      = 10; //maximum input boxes allowed
    var wrapper         = $(".input_fields_wrap"); //Fields wrapper
    var add_button      = $(".add_field_button"); //Add button ID

    var x = 1; //initlal text box count
    $(add_button).click(function(e){ //on add input button click
        e.preventDefault();
        if(x < max_fields){ //max input box allowed
            x++; //text box increment
            $(wrapper).append('<div class="form-group"><label class="col-md-3 control-label" for="example-text-input">Preferred Work Location</label><div class="col-md-3"> <input type="text" id="loc" name="Work_Location[]" class="form-control"  ></div><a href="#" class="remove_field">Remove</a></div>'); //add input box
        }
    });

    $(wrapper).on("click",".remove_field", function(e){ //user click on remove text
        e.preventDefault(); $(this).parent('div').remove(); x--;
    })
});
</script>

and Below is the autofill code

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&libraries=places&language=en-AU"></script>
    <script>
        var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete($("#loc")[0], {});

        google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function() {
            var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
            console.log(place.address_components);
        });
    </script>

What the above code does is gives suggestions while filling location

Jquery on mathod attach event to every single element selected in selector part separatly. If you add new one you need to reaatach the event there.

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var max_fields      = 10; //maximum input boxes allowed
var wrapper         = $(".input_fields_wrap"); //Fields wrapper
var add_button      = $(".add_field_button"); //Add button ID

var x = 1; //initlal text box count
$(add_button).click(function(e){ //on add input button click
    e.preventDefault();
    if(x < max_fields){ //max input box allowed
        x++; //text box increment
container = $('<div class="form-group"></div>');
container.append('<label class="col-md-3 control-label" for="example-text-input">Preferred Work Location</label><div class="col-md-3"> <input type="text" id="loc" name="Work_Location[]" class="form-control"  ></div>');
remove_box = $('<a href="#" class="remove_field">Remove</a>').on('click', remove_field);
container.append(remove_box);
        $(wrapper).append(container); //add input box
    }
});
function remove_field(e) {//user click on remove text
    e.preventDefault(); $(this).parent('div').remove(); x--;
}

$(wrapper).on("click",".remove_field", remove_field);
});
</script>

Something like this. I didn't check the syntax so fix what is necesary.
