jQuery bind event does not work at all

Question

I did everything I could to make it happen, but without success.

The problem is that I create an element on runtime then bind a function to the element like the following code:

$(document).ready(function() {

  $('.rem').click(function() {
    $("body").append('<a id="runtime" href="javascript:void(0);">runtime</a>');
  });

  $('#runtime').bind('click', func_name());

});

//End of doc
function func_name() {
  alert('I got it!');
}

In the HTML code I have a label like below:

<div id="body">
  <label class="rem">click me</label>
</div>

My second attempt

$(document).ready(function() {

  $('.rem').click(function() {
    $("body").append('<a id="runtime" href="javascript:void(0);">runtime</a>');
  });

  $('#runtime').bind('click',function() {
    alert($(this).text());
  });

});
//End of doc

HTML code:

<div id="body">
  <label class="rem">click me</label>
</div>

Change

$('#runtime').bind('click',func_name());

to

$('#runtime').live('click',func_name);

or (as of jQuery 1.7):

$('#runtime').on('click',func_name);

Two things to note:

I changed func_name() to func_name. You don't want to call the function when you bind the handler - you just want to reference it.
Calling bind won't do you any good, because #runtime doesn't exist until after you've clicked .rem. That's why you need either live or on (depending upon your jQuery version).

And just for good measure: here's a good reference on why you should be using jQuery.on anyway.

I use jQuery 1.7.1, live worked thanks, but .on() did not work. – Alireza Mar 08 '12 at 05:43

You don't want to run the function at the point in the code, so remove the ():

$('#runtime').bind('click', func_name);

If you're using jQuery 1.7+, though, you should either use .on():

$('#runtime').on('click', func_name);

or use a .click() handler directly:

$('#runtime').click(func_name);

I use jQuery 1.7.1.min.js but .on() method did not work (I removed () from function) – Alireza Mar 08 '12 at 05:40
I don't think .click() work well, because my element has been added on runtime, I need to bind event to it! – Alireza Mar 08 '12 at 05:41

try this

$(document).ready(function(){

    $('.rem').click(function(){
        $('<a id="runtime" href="javascript:void(0);">runtime</a>').bind('click',func_name).appendTo("body");
    });
});//End of doc
function func_name(){
    alert('I got it!');
}

Since you are binding the object before it has been created, you are not getting the desired result.

Your answer could be improved by adding more information on what the code does and how it helps the OP. — Tyler2P, Jun 10 '22 at 16:41
