Resized Page - Button submitting and not using jquery - php

Question

Update, seems it is also happening when i go onto the next page (fullscreen this time).
I'm hoping someone could possible help me as this has been driving me crazy. I have a table full off orders which each row has a button. This button when submitted will show an alert.
I am using data-tables (Responsive), and when the table is all on the screen, the button works as intended. However, when the screen is resized and the button goes within the + icon to expand the row. The button is not running the jquery and is submitting the page.
I have no idea how to fix this and was wondering if there is a workaround. Here is a sample of the code if it helps.
<table id="datatable-buttons" class="table table-striped table-bordered dt-responsive nowrap" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Order Number</th>
<th>Button</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php foreach ($orders as $order): ?>
<tr>
<th scope="row">
<?php echo $order['OrderNumber']; ?>
</th>
<td>
<form id="<?php echo $order['OrderNumber']; ?>">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</tbody>
</table>
At the bottom of the page:
<?php foreach ($orders as $order): ?>
<script>
$('#<?php echo $order['OrderNumber']; ?>').on('submit', function () {
alert('Form submitted!');
return false;
});
</script>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Any help would be appreciated! I have no idea why it isn't working when the table is resized.

Answer 1

Use a delegated event handler instead :
$('#datatable-buttons').on('submit', '#<?php echo $order['OrderNumber'];?>', function() {
alert('Form submitted!');
return false;
});
Your event handler does not work because the form not exists in dom at the time of declaration.
But all those dedicated #id based event handlers is completely unnecessary. A single (delegated) handler is sufficient :
$('#datatable-buttons').on('submit', 'form', function () {
alert('Form ' + $(this).attr('id') + ' submitted!');
return false;
});

Hey mate you could try something like this for the alert
<table id="datatable-buttons" class="table table-striped table- bordered dt-responsive nowrap" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Order Number</th>
<th>Button</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php foreach ($orders as $order): ?>
<tr>
<th scope="row">
<?php echo $order['OrderNumber']; ?>
</th>
<td>
<button type="button" class="btnPress" id="<?php echo $order['OrderNumber']; ?>">Submit</button>
</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</tbody>
</table>
Bottom
<script>
$('.btnPress').on('click', function () {
alert('Form submitted!');
alert(this.id);
});
</script>
