I have a node Express app that uses some javascript in the app's view file.

I am trying to handle an element's onClick event...

This method works:

$(document).on('click', '#dialog-continue', function () {
    alert('here')
});

This method does not work:

$('#dialog-continue').on('click', function () {
    alert('here')
});

Can anyone tell me why the second method doesn't work?

Thank you for your time :)
