javascript - jQuery - Find dynamically created element without events

Question

Tho this question has been asked before, and the answer is this:

$('#container').on('click','#dynamicElement', function(){ /* the code */ });

The code above will find the #dynamicElement when its being clicked on. But what if there is no click, nor any other event?

Suppose the following scenario:

$.ajax(
    url:'file.php',
    data: {'param':'value'},
    success: function(response){
         /*
         how would I get #dynamicElement if it was not click on?
         the element had no event fired at all, nor had any of its parennt
         containers.

          Now what?
         */
    }
);

Answer 1

If your new element is being added to the page inside the success callback, at that point you can call $('#dynamicElement')

Using $('#dynamicElement') anywhere outside of the callback would not return the element since it had not been added to the DOM yet.
