Row click datatables

Question

I am using jquery datatables plugin. The row click functionality is working fine on the first page, when I go to any of the next pages, the row click doesn't work with .on("click", function() { ....});

I tried to replace .on() with .live() and seems to work fine. My concern is .live() has been deprecated since jquery 1.7. Is it a bug with the .on() or am I missing something ?

If you want to delegate the event using on method, you should code:

$(document).on("click", "selector", function() { ....});

or:

$('staticParent').on("click", "dynamicDescendant", function() { ....});

Isn't the selector optional? If the selector is null or omitted, the event is always triggered when it reaches the selected element. api.jquery.com/on

@Liam For regular event handling, yes, but for event delegation, no.

I think I see the issue so the OP is doing $(selector).on(....); and your saying it should be $(document).on('click', selector....); :)
