Why is this simple click not working

[m2244]

Hello,

I have tried click, live, bind. If I just put an alert in the ready function, I get the alert. Nothing seems to work for the click function.

$(document).ready(function(){
			$("#prevButton").click("click",function(){alert("You clicked the previous button.");});
			
			
	});

<input id="prevButton "type="button">Previous</input>
	<input id="nextButton "type="button">Next</input>

Why would you want to specify "click" as the first parameter to the .click() event handler? Just remove it ... you would only need it for .bind(), .live() or .on()

Dang it. It was not in there when I tried the click earlier, then I tried live, on ,etc. It still does not work.

he means do it like this

$(document).ready(function(){
			$("#prevButton").click(function(){alert("You clicked the previous button.");});
			
			
	});

That's what I had when I started. Not working for me. No errors. No idea.

You need to remove the space(s) in the ids:

<input id="prevButton "type="button">Previous</input>
