Remove div on the click of a link that was created dynamically

I have the following code, when a checkbox is clicked it creates a div with some info. However in that div I added an anchor tag to remove the div itself.

However, I am not sure how to remove the div on the link click because the div is dynamically generated.

//Add selected job in the results div
function AddSelectedJob(id, display) {
    //create a div for every selected job
    $("[id$=ResultsDiv]").append('<div class="selectedjobs" id=' + id + '>' + display + '<a href="#">Remove selected job</a></div>');
}

I prefer using .parents() in this case.

And if possible, add a class to your anchor, then return false or use .preventDefault() to prevent anchor's default action.

//Add selected job in the results div
function AddSelectedJob(id, display) {
    //create a div for every selected job
    $("[id$=ResultsDiv]").append('<div class="selectedjobs" id=' + id + '>' + display + '<a class="removeSelectedJobs" href="#">Remove selected job</a></div>');
}

$('.selectedjobs .removeSelectedJobs').live('click', function() {
    $(this).parents('.selectedjobs').remove();
    return false;
});

In this case divs are not usually created but are rather hidden instead by which you would a lot of hassle. You can create a div that has "display:none;" in CSS and then when the tickbox is checked you can use

$("[id$=ResultsDiv]").show();

and when it is unchecked,

$("[id$=ResultsDiv]").hide();

give your div a class and use on delegate event

try this

$("[id$=ResultsDiv]").append('<div class="selectedjobs" id=' + id + '>' + display + '<a href="#" class="removeJob">Remove selected job</a></div>');

$('[id$=ResultsDiv]').on('click','.removeJob',function(){
    $(this).parent().remove();
})

OR

without using class

$('[id$=ResultsDiv]').on('click','.selectedjobs a',function(){
    $(this).parent().remove();
})

note: delgating it to the closest static parent container is better than the document itself

Try live click...

$(".selectedjobs a").live("click", function(){
    $(this).parent().remove();
});

USE THIS CODE :-

//Add selected job in the results div

function AddSelectedJob(id, display) {
    //create a div for every selected job
    $("[id$=ResultsDiv]").append('<div class="selectedjobs" id=' + id + '>' + display + '<a href="javascript:;" onclick="removeSelectedJob(this)">Remove selected job</a></div>');
}

function removeSelectedJob(el){
    $(el).parent().remove();
}

something like:

$("#ResultsDiv>div.selectedjobs a").click(function(){
    $(this).parent().remove();
});
