$(document).on() vs $('#id').on()

[gowda24]

Whats the difference between

$(document).on(‘click’,’#id’, function(){
//code..
});

$(‘#id’).on(‘click’, function(){
//code..
});

In the first case you’re attaching the event listener to the document, which listens for an event originating from an element with a particular id that bubbles up the DOM.

In the second case, you’re attaching the event listener to the element itself.

Go here: https://api.jquery.com/on/ and read the section with the heading “Direct and delegated events.”
