Bootstrap onClick button event

There is no show event in js - you need to bind your button either to the click event:

$('#id').on('click', function (e) {

     //your awesome code here

})

Mind that if your button is inside a form, you may prefer to bind the whole form to the submit event.


If, like me, you had dynamically created buttons on your page, the

$("#your-bs-button's-id").on("click", function(event) {
                       or
$(".your-bs-button's-class").on("click", function(event) {

methods won't work because they only work on current elements (not future elements). Instead you need to reference a parent item that existed at the initial loading of the web page.

$(document).on("click", "#your-bs-button's-id", function(event) {
                       or more generally
$("#pre-existing-element-id").on("click", ".your-bs-button's-class", function(event) {

There are many other references to this issue on stack overflow here and here.
