Jquery onclick on div

Question

I have a simple question. The following code works for all the tags:

$(\'*\').click(function(e) {  
    alert(1);
});

But, when I try this

Answer 1

Nothing.

$('#content').click(function(e) {  
    alert(1);
});

Will bind to an existing HTML element with the ID set to content, and will show a message box on click.

• Make sure that #content exists before using that code
• That the ID is unique
• Check your Javascript console for any errors or issues
