I'm trying to intercept clicks on this link:
<a id="test-button" href="#">Test</a>
with this js:
(function() {
$('#test-button').click(function (event) {
console.log("This code never gets called.")
event.preventDefault();
$('#alert-placeholder').html(['<div class="alert"><a class="close"',
'data-dismiss="alert">×</a>',
'<span>"+message+"</span></div>'].join())
return false;
})
console.log("yes, this code loads");
debugger;
})();
but the URL '#'
loads and the code in the click() function doesn't run. What am I missing?
I'm using this code in a flask app using bootstrap.
