Meteor.startup() with jQuery

Im trying to use some jQuery in my Meteor app, but the jQuery below

   Meteor.startup(function(){

        $('#new-list-button').on('click', function(ev){
            console.log('clicked');
        })
    });

runs before the #new-list-button element loads on the page.

Template.example.events({
 'click #new-list-button':function(event){
    $('yourElem').addClass('yourClass');
  }
});

Jquery works inside meteor events, you just have to look at it differently as opposed to on.click

Well actually thats an on click event

Meteor have his own event handlers

Template.example.events({
 'click #new-list-button':function(){
   console.log('clicked');
  }
})

Take a look into Templates.events docs

FYI if you want to use jQuery plugins on meteor i suggest you to use the rendered function.

For example

Template.example.rendered = function(){
  initializePlugin();
}
