Hover event not working after append() div content

I am attempting to use jquery to append .thumb into another last div when click the .button

This is the jquery function:

$('.thumb').hover(function() {
    $(this).find('.close').fadeIn();
}, function() {
    $(this).find('.close').fadeOut();
});
$('.close').click(function() {
    $(this).parent().fadeOut('slow');
});
$('.button').click(function() {
    $html = '<div class="thumb">';
    $html += '<img src="http://findicons.com/files/icons/1979/social/50/wordpress.png" />';
    $html += '<div class="close">X</div>';
    $html += '</div>';
    $('.box').append($html);
});

http://jsfiddle.net/UfyQq/

The obstacle I am facing with this code is that the appended div not obey the hover event or use click function on the .close

I would really appreciate some help here, thanks!

You have to use delegation:

DEMO

$('.box').on({
    mouseenter: function () {
        $(this).find('.close').fadeIn();
    },
    mouseleave: function () {
        $(this).find('.close').fadeOut();
    }
}, '.thumb');

$('.box').on('click','.close',function () {
    $(this).parent().fadeOut('slow');
});

Alter:

$('.thumb').hover(function() {
    $(this).find('.close').fadeIn();
}, function() {
    $(this).find('.close').fadeOut();
});
$('.close').click(function() {
    $(this).parent().fadeOut('slow');
});
$('.button').click(function() {
    $html = '<div class="thumb">';
    $html += '<img src="http://findicons.com/files/icons/1979/social/50/wordpress.png" />';
    $html += '<div class="close">X</div>';
    $html += '</div>';
    $('.box').append($html);
});

To:

$('.thumb').hover(function() {
    $(this).find('.close').fadeIn();
}, function() {
    $(this).find('.close').fadeOut();
});
$('.close').click(function() {
    $(this).parent().fadeOut('slow');
});
$('.button').click(function() {
    $html = '<div class="thumb">';
    $html += '<img src="http://findicons.com/files/icons/1979/social/50/wordpress.png" />';
    $html += '<div class="close">X</div>';
    $html += '</div>';
    $('.box').append($html);
    $('.thumb').hover(function() {
    $(this).find('.close').fadeIn();
}, function() {
    $(this).find('.close').fadeOut();
});
$('.close').click(function() {
    $(this).parent().fadeOut('slow');
});
});

That will attach the events once again.

The problem is the appended content doesn't exist when you attach the event listeners. use jQuery's .on() on the parent element to fix this.

check this working jsFiddle

$('.box').on('mouseenter','.thumb',function() {
    $(this).find('.close').fadeIn();
});

$('.box').on('mouseleave','.thumb',function() {
    $(this).find('.close').fadeOut();
});
