My previous question (that was closed) -> Jquery - Cloning a div which includes input unordered lists. How to get the dropdown to work in the cloned row?
I was referred to this answer: -> Event binding on dynamically created elements?
I'm stuck at which static ancestor to use as with each one i try, the cloned version will not register any clicks.
For example, in my first version, I used the .on as so.. clicking an option from the dropdown to run a function that will assign a class selected, which will unhide the next dropdown.
$(".option").on("click", unhideoption2);
but with each parent/static selector I add in, it still doesn't register any clicks on the cloned versions
e.g
$(".optionlist").on("click", ".option", unhideoption2);
or
$(".cselect").on("click", ".option", unhideoption2);
or
$(".row1").on("click", ".option", unhideoption2);
Should I be adding the event delegation to the row that is being cloned instead of to the individual inputs? Although when I try that also, it still doesn't register the clicks on the cloned row.
$(".rows").on("click",'.clonerow', clonerow);
Where am I going wrong with the event delegation?
