jquery click command not working on dynamically added html

hi.

i am dynamically adding html to my page using the .html(…) function which is triggered based on some user action.

i have also defined a click function specific to some id tags that is in the dynamic html. when i generate the dynamic html and call the click function, nothing happens (aka, the click function is not getting called…) what could be the problem?

i have attached the code below:

following html code called upon a user action, which adds a button on the page with id = addTask:

[CODE].html(“<input name=’add’ type=’button’ value=’Add’ id=’addTask’>”)
[/CODE]

when the user clicks on this button, the following function should be called, but it ISNT…and this is the issue:

[CODE]$(‘#addTask’).click(function() {
alert(“adding…”);
}[/CODE]

when i click the add button, i don’t get an alert…
