Here goes my question..

/* I am using ajax to dynamically create table */

 $(".n").click(function(){
      var id= $(this).closest('tr').find('td.ide2').html();

         //for displaying the table
         $.ajax({
           type: 'POST',
           url: '<?php echo base_url(); ?>Admin/show', //We are going to make the request to the method "list_dropdown" in the match controller
           dataType:'json',
           data: {'id':id}, //POST parameter to be sent with the tournament id
           success: function(resp) { 

             for(var i=0;i<(resp.length);i++)
              {
                var row = $('<tr></tr>').appendTo($("#unique-list"));

                $('<td />',{text:resp[i]}).appendTo(row);
                $('<td class="off-del glyphicon glyphicon-minus"></td>').appendTo(row);  

             }//end for loop
            } //end success
            });  //end ajax




          $(".off-del").click(function(){
          alert('hello');
          var id= $(this).closest('tr').find($(":first-child")).html();
          console.log(id);
          });
        });

the event click on $(".off-del") is not triggering automatically I have to write in console the name of the event then this event starts functioning. Is there any issue with class name generating dynamically and how to overcome

After i wrote the name of the event in console it works

Ajax calls are asynchronous.

Before the elements are appended via ajax, the click handler gets registered, which find no elements with $(".off-del").

You should probably use event delegation.

$(document).on('click','.off-del',function(){
    alert('hello');
    var id= $(this).closest('tr').find($(":first-child")).html();
    console.log(id);
});

Instead of $(document) you can use a static parent.
