Jquery Icon Click

Question

I am having problem with what must be the simplest thing . A table row with a close icon in it with the idea that I can click on the icon and delete the row.

<tr><td>data here</td><td><span class="clDeleteX ui-icon ui-icon-closethick"></td></tr>

with a

$("#clDeleteX").click(function(ev){
    alert('icon clicked');
})

Can anyone dislodge the fog in my brain?

Oh yes I s'pose I should state the problem - nothing happens..

In selectors, # prefix is for IDs, you have to use . for classes.

$(".clDeleteX").click(function(ev){
    alert('icon clicked');
})

    alert('icon clicked');
})

to

$(".clDeleteX").click(function(ev){

})
