javascript - Jquery button click event not firing

Question

seems like a simple issue but the solutions to the other problem don't seem to work from me.

Trying to trigger a AJAX request from a button click but it doesn't seem to be firing.

example HTML

<button class="remove_weight_button" id="15">x</button>

javascript

$(".remove_weight_button").click(function(){
    var button_id = $(this).attr("id");
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "weight_tracker_process.php",
        data: {
            weight_id: button_id,
            action: "remove"
        },
        success: function(){
            getWeightData();
        },
        error: function(){
            alert("data removal error");
        }
    });
    return false;
});

Answer 1

The code you have works fine in fiddle. Is your button being dynamically rendered through AJAX after the initial page load?

Use

$(document).on("click", ".remove_weight_button", function(){

instead of

$(".remove_weight_button").click(function(){
