jquery .on(click) not working

i have a link on html

<a href="#instalacoes" id="instalacoesbutton">Veja aqui »</a></p>

and i'm using .on() to do a transition and load content from a external file

$(document).on("click", '#instalacoesbutton', function(){
$("#maincontent").slideUp(1000, function () {
$("#maincontent").load("instalacoes.html #instalacoes");
}).delay(500).slideDown(1000);
});

any idea why this doesn't work?

if i do:

$("#instalacoesbutton").on("click", function(){
$("#maincontent").slideUp(1000, function () {
$("#maincontent").load("instalacoes.html #instalacoes");
}).delay(500).slideDown(1000);
});

it works, for the 1st click, but doesn't after the page has been generated dinamically

If you want the action to fire on all future elements which match that selector, you can set up a click on the document and look for a clicks on that item. This would look something like:

$(document).click(function (e) {
    if ($(e.target).is(".testSelector")) {
        // do stuff to $(e.target)
    }
});

Here you go:

jQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#instalacoesbutton").on("click", function() {
        $("#maincontent").slideUp(1000, function () {
            $("#maincontent").load("instalacoes.html #instalacoes");
        }).delay(500).slideDown(1000);
    });
});

Try it yourself on jsFiddle
