Hi I am in the process of creating my first app. One of the features I need is to include a php page that has interogated a Database and turned out the neccessary HTML.

I then want to be able to get the elementID and the innerText.

If I include this code:

HTML Code:
<div class="toolbar"> 
      <ul id="names"> 
      <li id="a1"><a href="#dispName">Andrew</a></li>
      <li id="a2"><a href="#dispName">Anita</a></li> 
      <li id="a3"><a href="#dispName">Arnold</a></li>
      </ul> 
</div>
And this:

HTML Code:
  var placeID;   
 
    $('#names a').click(function(){   
     //$('#dispName h1').html($(this).text());
 
     placeID = $(this).parent().attr('id'); 
 
     alert(placeID); 
     alert(document.getElementById(placeID).innerText);
 
        //jQT.goTo('#dispName', 'slide');      
     return false;  
    });
It works fine and I get the results I am after - but I want to append the div to what was created by querying the database.

This would output code like this.

PHP Code:
echo('<li id="a1"><a href="#dispName">Arnold</a></li><li id="a2"><a href="#dispName">Anthea</a></li>');' 
I can get the information to list fine as I want but when it is tapped/clicked upon nothing happens.

Can anyone give me any advice?

Thanks in advance.
