Successive clicks failing- Jquery

I have a weird problem with this javascript (ldelim and rdelim are for curly braces when using smarty)

$('#bouton').on('click',function() {ldelim}
        event.preventDefault();
        $.post(url,data,function(callback_data){ldelim}
                  ....
       {rdelim});
{rdelim});

this script will reveal a div tag ('#thisdiv') that was invisible. Then I added

$('#thisdiv').on('click',function() {ldelim}
            event.preventDefault();
            $.post(url,data,function(callback_data){ldelim}
                      ....
           {rdelim});
{rdelim});

But nothing is happening on the click on '#thisdiv' (even if I suppress anything in the click function on '#thisdiv' and put an alert message). Someone could help ?

Edit : before the first call there is , after the first call the class 'invisible' us removed (class 'invisible' is a display none class)

#thisdiv does not exist when this code runs - so it cannot attach the event. You need to delegate higher up the document. For example:

$(document).on('click','#thisdiv',function(){...});

or if there is a parent element that is there on load, you could use this as the anchor:

$('#theparent').on('click','#thisdiv',function(){...});
