JQuery click function is not working

I've seen this question before but all the answers I saw do not apply to my particular problem. Most of the ones I've seen were caused by the click not being used in a document ready function. All of the stuff in setup_calenders and disable_items is happening but no alert pops up when the checkbox is clicked.

$(document).ready(setup)

function setup() {
$("id_Clearance").click(enable_clearance);
$("id_Paperwork").click(enable_paperwork);
$("id_AVSupport").click(enable_support);
setup_calendars();
disable_items();
}

function enable_paperwork()
{
alert("clicked");
}

I could be wrong as I don't have your html source, but it looks like you might not have the correct selectors for IDs.

Currently, you're doing this:

$("id_Clearance").click(enable_clearance);
$("id_Paperwork").click(enable_paperwork);
$("id_AVSupport").click(enable_support);

If those are indeed supposed to be ids of elements on the page, you'll want to change it to this:

$("#id_Clearance").click(enable_clearance);
$("#id_Paperwork").click(enable_paperwork);
$("#id_AVSupport").click(enable_support);

Notice the # at the start of the selectors. That's what is used to select an id.

Is this what you want?

function setup() {
  $("#id_Clearance").click(enable_clearance);
  $("#id_Paperwork").click(enable_paperwork);
  $("#id_AVSupport").click(enable_support);
  setup_calendars();
  disable_items();
}

You need to include a # before an element's id to select for id. Just a name like that looks for a tag. eg:

<id_Clearance/>

jQuery has great documentation: http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/

You're missing the # signs that indicate that a selector should match an element ID:

$("#id_Clearance").click(enable_clearance);
$("#id_Paperwork").click(enable_paperwork);
$("#id_AVSupport").click(enable_support);
