jQuery 1.3.2 -using .click()

I am using a program that requires jQuery 1.3.2 and haven't been able to get the .click() function to work, but I am able to get function like .hover() to work.

This works fine:

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#alert_button").hover(function(){
            alert("The monitor has been notified - please wait in your room and they will be by shortly");
        });
    });

But this does not:

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#alert_button").click(function(){
            alert("The monitor has been notified - please wait in your room and they will be by shortly");
        });
    });

Did 1.3.2 not support .click()? And if not was there an alternative event handler to use?

Solution

  • .click() will work in any case... demo

    Rather, .hover() will not work in Chrome for action elements like <button> demo

    If you're fine with the above mentioned than your error lies somewhere else,
    open Firebug or any Developer console and see if you have some other JS errors.
