I use jQuery to show a string, and add a remove button next to the string. How do I give the button the ability to remove the string? (both the string and the button do not show up in the HTML source because they are output from jQuery.)

What have you tried?

it depends on how accurate you can pinpoint that text in the document (with Java​Script)

i made the string and the remove button in the same div, giving the div an id. then the problem is the element cannot be found.

that’s the point where we would need to see the code.

to clarify,

i have a div, in which i use jQuery to write line by line. i can do clear-all to remove the whole thing (by

html('');

). now i need to be able to remove them by selecting a line. i tried to id the lines on the fly which will not work because the elements cannot be found in HTML source.

so i think i have to prepare a div for each line and id each line in advance. the problem is i don't know how many lines there will be. now if i know the maximum available lines is 150, then i will have to prepare 150 divs (or tr's) upfront? is there a smarter way?

how should I know? I do not know anything about your jQuery or your HTML.
