How to fire an event on DOM objects dynamically generated after page load

I had trouble to activate related JavaScript / jQuery event when the part of the page is loaded with dynamically created button. How can I resolve this issue? What is the best method to resolve this issue?

It is base on my trouble in real case.

I have this function to call the php function to generate a new dynamically create pagination section in a page with Ajax.

function loadData(page){
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: ".../get_Scorewithagination.php",
            data: 'page='+page+'&testID='+testID+'&testDate='+testDate+'&empPass='+empPass+'&courseCode='+courseCode,
            success: function(msg){
                $('#testInfo').empty();
                $(document).ajaxComplete(function(event, request, settings){
                    loading_hide();
                    $("#resultBox").html(msg); to #resultBox
                });

                $('.iconpoint_orange').click(function() {
                    btnNames = $(this).attr("name").split("_");
                    $.post('.../getInfo.php', {testresult: btnNames[1]}, ShowTestInfo); 
                });

                // Collapse row on delete
                $('.iconpoint_blue').click(function() {
                    alert();
                    rowName = this.name;
                    rowID = '#' + rowName;
                    $(this).closest('tr').children('td').addClass("row_hover");

                    $("#dialog_confirm").html("Are you sure you want to delete this?");
                    $("#dialog_confirm").dialog({
                          buttons : {
                        "Delete" : function() { 
                        $(rowID).closest('tr').animate({opacity: 0},500).slideUp(300);
                        setTimeout(function() {$(rowID).closest('tr').empty().remove();} ,3000);
                        $(this).dialog("close");

                        },
                        "Cancel" : function() {
                        $(rowID).closest('tr').children('td').removeClass("row_hover");
                        $(this).dialog("close");
                        }
                          }
                    });
                $("#dialog_confirm").dialog("open"); // Show dialog box

                });

            },
            error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { 
                        alert("Error: " + errorThrown); 
                        $('#testInfo').html("<br\>Status: " + textStatus +"<br\>Error: " + errorThrown);
                           $('#testInfo').addClass("errorRed");


            }       

        });//$.ajax() END
    }//loadData(page) END

But the issue is that those two buttons

.iconpoint_blue

and

.iconpoint_orange

are not be able to call for a respond after the rows are dynamically generated by php file I called with Ajax.

I know that Ajax returned html codes are not scanned by JavaScript at the beginning of the document complete since it was completed later, therefore, the button I created dynamically will not respond to the function even its the correct selector #.

I want the dynamically generated button with existing function's selector for each record, will be able to call back the function that is loaded at page load?

Bind the function to a parent element. For example, with this HTML:

<div class='wrapper'>
    <a href='#' class='click_here'>click here</a>
</div>

you could have the following javascript:

$('.wrapper').on( 'click', '.click_here', function() {
    $(this).after('<a href="#" class="or_here">or here</a>');
});
$('.wrapper').on( 'click', '.or_here', function() {
    $(this).remove();
});

Here's a jsFiddle.
