jQuery selector for element not on page

I have the following jQuery on the page:
$('#nav-icon1,#nav-icon3').click(function(){
});
And corresponding HTML like this:
<div id="nav-icon3" class="">
<span class="whitehamburger origin"></span>
<span class="whitehamburger origin"></span>
<span class="whitehamburger origin"></span>
<span class="whitehamburger origin"></span>
</div>
There's no nav-icon1 anywhere on the page, but when I change the jQuery to be this:
$('#nav-icon3').click(function(){
});
It stops working.
What am I missing? Thanks!

it's necessary attach that event to your div? check if your spans are position "relative" because if they are "absolute" your div "nav-icon3" may not be visible with height:0px.
another way to add events is using "bind"
$(function(){
$("#nav-icon3").bind('click', function()
{
// some code...
});
});
or
$(function(){
$("#nav-icon3").bind('click', _onNavClick);
});
function _onNavClick(event)
{
// some code...
}

It seems different error, what you are doing is working just how it is. Check it here jsfiddle.net/ed9xsh62/ Check your console or share URL to check the exact error.

$(function(){
$( "#nav-icon3" ).click(function() {
//code goes here
//can do a simple alert to test the function
});
});
Could be a possibility that you just did not have your code in document.ready function (I used the shorthand version). I tried your code and it worked perfectly as long as it was in the document.ready function.

jQuery trigger click event not working on div

I want to trigger a click event on a div. I use the following code but it is not working.
$('#showbanner').trigger('click');
<div id="showbanner">show banner</div>
What is that I am doing wrong? I actually want to show the banner 2 seconds after page is loaded. Before I could add delay event my click event for this div is not firing.
Here is my code example: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/aOzyxo

The issue is because your trigger('click'); call is the first thing in your script; it's called before the event is attached.
You need to move it to the end of the script so that the event handlers are bound when it is called:
Updated Codepen

enter code here
Try this .
$(function () {
$(document).on("click", "#showbanner", function () {
alert('Hola');
});
$("#showbanner").click();
});
show banner

Try this
JS
$('#showbanner').on("click", function() {
alert("test");
});
$('#showbanner').trigger('click');
HTML
<div id="showbanner">show banner</div>

Try this
$('#showbanner').on("click", function() {
alert("test");
});
$('#showbanner').click();

Can javascript click a div?

Is it possible to make javascript click on a div when the div exists in the browser?
For example, the script could refresh a webpage until a div shows up (with content), and than if the div is clickable, let javascript click it (or just follow the link, if there is one).

using jquery . use $(window).load(); function which attach all event after body load all content in web page . see below code : here you can read document of load();
working example on fiddle
<div id="yourDivId"></div>
$(window).load(function () {
$(document).on('click',"#yourDivId",function () {
// Some code here
});
});

Yes, it’s possible.
You can add a click event handler function using jQuery as mentioned above.
To fire the click event of that div, do
$("#mydiv").click()

this is the correct one
<div id="mydiv></div>
$(window).load(function () {
$(document).on('click',"#mydiv",function () {
// Some code here
});
});

Click event not working first time

I have written a click function in jquery like below and experiencing some problem.
$(' #xxx').unbind('click').on('click', function () {
$('#xxx').removeClass('hide');
$('#xxx').toggle();
});
and the div for the click event is
<div id="xxx" class="hide"></div>
now when i click this div nothing appears. Only from the second click the toggle function takes place. Can anyone help me out with this please? I need the click from the first time. And most importantly i dont want the hide function while the page loads because My design breaks while loading and only when the loading is complete it looks nice.So how can i acheive it?

here is a working Fiddle of what you desire to do.. there is nothing wrong with your code, i dont know but maybe you forgot to import your jquery like this :
<script src="YOUR_JQUERY_PATH/JQUERY_FILENAME.js"></script>

$(' #xxx').unbind('click').on('click', function () {
// $('#xxx').removeClass('hide'); // <- remove this line
$('#xxx').toggle();
});

<div id="xxx" class="hide">aaaaaaaaa</div>
<script>
$(' #xxx').on('click', function ()
{
$('#xxx').removeClass('hide');
$('#xxx').toggle();
});
//Another method
$(' #xxx').click(function()
{
$('#xxx').removeClass('hide');
$('#xxx').toggle();
});
</script>

I ve tried many ways.But i still wonder y this isnt working. But when i modified my code like
<div id="xxx" style="display:none"></div>
$(' #xxx').on('click', function ()
{
$('#xxx').toggle();
});
it works like a gem.Anyway i got the output.Still in a confusion y my previous code hasnt worked.

Toggle text with function called with onclick

my question is a short one but I couldn't figure it out by myself. I've got a function like -> http://jsfiddle.net/gtU56/ . I'm calling a javascript-function with an event-listener(onclick) in my html-code. The function itself is more complex but I need the last snippet. By clicking 'Show More' the text should change. Why won't the text change?

Because the toggleText function isn't available when the html code is rendered.
In other words the function isn't set until the page is ready so the onclick function doesn't reference anything.
Either have the function like here http://jsfiddle.net/gtU56/2/
or have it in the head of the page because its needs to be ready immediately
If you want it to wait for the ready state you can do the following and remove the onclick action all together
http://jsfiddle.net/gtU56/7/
$(".text").click(function()
{
$(".text").toggle();
});

toggleText = function () {
$('.text').toggle();
}
check here http://jsfiddle.net/gtU56/3/

It's because of how you're loading the function. Switch it from onLoad to no wrap (head) and it works fine.
jsFiddle example
Using jsFiddle's onLoad wraps your function in a window.onload call like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
$(window).load(function(){
function toggleText() {
$('.text').toggle();
}
});//]]>
</script>
While no wrap (head) just adds it normally like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function toggleText() {
$('.text').toggle();
}
//]]>
</script>

since you are already claiming having jquery, you need not use inline javascript. try this
var elems = $('.text');
elems.click(function(){
elems.toggle();
});
fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/gtU56/5/

$('.text').click(function() {
$('.text').toggle('slow', function() {
// do your animation..
});
});
​
Js Fiddle

This is the solution - http://jsfiddle.net/gtU56/6/
You need to first make sure that the function is registered after page load. Then, bind a click event to the div.
Hope this helps!

First you should organize you jQuery code like this:
$.(document).ready(function() {
// enter jQuery code here
});
Otherwise you're accessing a not completly loaded html document.
Also, you don't need the event-listener if you are using jQuery.
This should work for you:
$.(document).ready(function() {
$('.text').click(function() {
$(this).toggle();
});
});

Is very easy. You can use ID or CLASS.
onclick="$('NAME ID or CLASS').toggle(ANIMATION or DURATION);"
<div>
<div class="text" onclick="$('.text2').toggle(400);">Show More</div>
<div class="text2" style="display:none">Show Less</div>
</div>
