jquery dynamically added checkbox not working with change() function

I dynamically load in a few li's that have a label and a checkbox in them to another visible ul. I set the che开发者_开发百科ckboxes to be checked="checked" and i am trying to trigger an event to happen when i change these dynamically inserted checkboxes but nothing occurs.

Here is the jquery:

$(".otherProductCheckbox:checkbox").change( function(){
    alert('test');
});

Here is the html for the dynamically added li's:

<li class="otherProduct"><input type="checkbox" class="otherProductCheckbox radioCheck" checked="checked"/><label>Product Name</label></li>

Any idea why i cant get the alert to happen when the checkbox changes its checked state?

You have to use liveQuery or live to bind events to dynamically added elements.

$(".otherProductCheckbox:checkbox").live('change', function(){
    alert('test');
});

EDIT To work in IE, you have to use click not change

$(".otherProductCheckbox:checkbox").live('click', function(){
        alert('test');
 });

Since live() is now deprecated as of jQuery 1.7, I thought I'd post the solution that worked for me on the same problem (trigger event when dynamically added checkboxes are changed).

$(document).on('click', '.otherProductCheckbox', function() {
    alert('test');
});

neither of the above worked for me, but this one worked when adding the checkbox dynamically for a list of items in a listview.

$('.favourite_itemList').on('click','.checkBox', function () {
   alert('test')
)};

Although no visible function/attribute change is shown in the particular checkbox element when optIn or optOut, the above code works well for me.
