The following code is fairly self explanatory, but I am running in to an issue binding the click event to an element that has been created.
You can see at line 25 I am creating a div with id of 'overlay'. I then set it's css properties.
Then at line 65 I bind click to trigger the hiding of the modal. The problem is, it doesn't work. If I put the div in the html, the the .click works as expected.
Any help is appreciated.
