javascript - Fill content in modal, when click on <a> tag the click event is not fired -


i try open modal. when user clicks on "read more", modal launched need set content dynamically using jquery. in debugger, looks click not fired, fields aren't set up...

links:

<a id="questionmodal-13" href="#modalfaq" data-toggle="modal" data-questiontitle="why this?" data-questionanswer="test answer 1"> read more</a>  <a id="questionmodal-24" href="#modalfaq" data-toggle="modal" data-questiontitle="why that?" data-questionanswer="test answer 2"> read more</a> 

modal:

<div class="modal fade" id="modalfaq">     <div class="modal-dialog">         <div class="modal-content">             <div class="modal-header">                 <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>                 <h4 id="questiontitle" class="modal-title">modal title</h4>             </div>             <div class="modal-body">                 <p id="questionanswer" >here settings can configured...</p>             </div>             <div class="modal-footer">                 <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal"><?php echo _('close') ?></button>             </div>         </div><!-- /.modal-content -->     </div><!-- /.modal-dialog --> </div><!-- /.modal --> 

jquery:

jquery('[id^=questionmodal-]').on('click',function(){     var question = $(this).data('questiontitle');     var answer = $(this).data('questionanswer');      $("#questiontitle").html( question );     $("#questionanswer").html( parsejson( answer ) ); }); 

the modal correctly launching nor field in modal. when place breakpoint in jquery on click, it's not firing...

i've tried form :

jquery('[id^=questionmodal-]').click(function(){ ... }); 

jquery , bootstrap libraries loaded...

some 1 can me please?

since bootstrap modal fires many events can handy use 1 of them instead of binding other events on target click.

if modal works, can sure events fired.

as documentation sates:

this event fires when show instance method called. if caused click, clicked element available relatedtarget property of event.

you can use event show.bs.modal in case that:

$('#modalfaq').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {     var question = $(e.relatedtarget).data('questiontitle'),         answer = $(e.relatedtarget).data('questionanswer');     $("#questiontitle").html( question );     $("#questionanswer").html( answer ); })
