How to add an event handler to an element which is rendered on a button click?

I have two links on a page. When I click on the second link, it displays certain fields. I want to write a onkeyup() event handler for one of the fields. I have written the code like this and I'm missing something. Please help.
var inputBox;
$().ready(function() {
//cc_sec is the id of the second link in my page.
$('#cc_sec').click(function(){
inputBox = document.getElementById("{!$Component.pg.pb.cardForm.cardnumber}");
alert(inputBox.id);
//This alert is giving me the ID of the element correctly.
});
//This is not working. inputBox is declared as global variable.
inputBox.onkeyup = function(){
alert(inputBox.value);
document.getElementById('printCardNo').innerHTML = inputBox.value;
}
});
Please point out my mistake. TIA :)
UPDATE:
I can get the element by ID only after clicking the cc_sec link. So I cannot do inputBox = document.getElementById("{!$Component.pg.pb.cardForm.cardnumber}"); in the beginning of the ready function.

use jQuery .on to add eventhandler to dynamically created elements.
$('body').on("keyup","{!$Component.pg.pb.cardForm.cardnumber}",function(){
alert($(this).val());
document.getElementById('printCardNo').innerHTML = $(this).val();
});

You have two options
call document.getElementById in document ready:
var inputBox;
$().ready(function() {
inputBox = document.getElementById("{!$Component.pg.pb.cardForm.cardnumber}");
//cc_sec is the id of the second link in my page.
$('#cc_sec').click(function() {
alert(inputBox.id);
//This alert is giving me the ID of the element correctly.
});
inputBox.onkeyup = function() {
alert(inputBox.value);
document.getElementById('printCardNo').innerHTML = inputBox.value;
};
});
or set onkeyup in click event:
var inputBox;
$().ready(function() {
//cc_sec is the id of the second link in my page.
$('#cc_sec').click(function() {
inputBox = document.getElementById("{!$Component.pg.pb.cardForm.cardnumber}");
alert(inputBox.id);
//This alert is giving me the ID of the element correctly.
inputBox.onkeyup = function() {
alert(inputBox.value);
document.getElementById('printCardNo').innerHTML = inputBox.value;
};
});
});

jQuery nested functions

I am still new to JavaScript and jQuery, so I am confused as to why the following code is not working as I anticipated. All I am trying to do is save input on a button click (id=recordInput) and display it with another button click (id=displayInput). What I observe is that tempInput is stored, (the code works until that point) but assignment of displayInputs onclick attribute is not executed. My question is, can you not nest a $().click() call inside of another &().click() call?
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#recordInput').click(function(event) {
var tempInput = $('#testInput').val();
&('#displayInput').click(function(event) {
console.log(tempInput);
});
});
});
</script>
My thinking is this in pseudocode:
assign recordInput onclick attribute to the following function:
store tempInput
set displayInput onclick to alert the tempInput value
what is wrong with my thinking?
NOTE: I did not include any html tags but all of the ids are referenced correctly

It's not working because you have put & instead of $ here
$('#displayInput').click(function(event) {
Fixing this may work, but you shouldn't set event handlers this way. Because every time your first handler function is called it will set an event handler for the second one. You can try with your console.log and you will see that the number of console.log is increasing by every click on #recordInput. So you should better set it like this :
var tempInput;
$('#recordInput').click(function(event) {
tempInput = $('#testInput').val();
});
$('#displayInput').click(function(event) {
console.log(tempInput);
});

I would change
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#recordInput').click(function(event) {
var tempInput = $('#testInput').val();
&('#displayInput').click(function(event) {
console.log(tempInput);
});
});
});
to
$(function(){
var testInput = '';
$('#recordInput').click(function(){
testInput = $('#testInput').val();
});
$('#displayInput').click(function(){
if(testInput !== ''){
console.log(testInput);
}
});
});
You are using & instead of $. Of course, you don't have to format the code exactly like I did.

Onclick toggle DIV class

So I have a button that is a div class, lets call it "login-button-arrow".
I want to set up a javascript method, so when this div gets clicked on, a little javascript box can pop up.
How do I go about doing this?
I have tried something like this:
login-button-arrow.onclick{alert('xyz')}
but I guess it does not work like that.

// Get #popup element:
const popup = document.querySelector("#popup");
// Function to toggle popup (toggles .active)
const togglePopup = () => {
console.log( "xyz" );
popup.classList.toggle("active");
};
// Get buttons elements from DOM
const buttons = document.querySelectorAll('.login-button-arrow');
// Assign event listener with callback to every button:
buttons.forEach((btn) => {
btn.addEventListener("click", togglePopup);
});

$('.login-button-arrow').on('click', function() { alert('xyz'); });

var login-button-arrows = document.getElementsByClassName('login-button-arrow');
login-button-arrows.forEach(function(obj){
obj.addEventListener('click', function(){
alert('xyz');
});
});

using Jquery :
$('#login-button-arrow').on('click', function(){ alert('xyz'); });

jQuery how to get the class or id of last clicked element?

I am trying to get the class or an id of the last clicked element. This is what I have based off of what I found here...
HTML
Button
JQUERY
$('.button').click(function () {
myFuntion();
});
function myFunction (e) {
e = e || event;
$.lastClicked = e.target || e.srcElement;
var lastClickedElement = $.lastClicked;
console.log(lastClickedElement);
}
This sort of does what I want, but I am not sure how to go about modifying it so I can get just the class.
I have also tried using this solution but couldn't get it to work with my code.
$('.button').click(function () {
myFuntion();
});
function myFunction(){
var lastID;
lastID = $(this).attr("id");
console.log(lastID);
}
When I do this my console log comes back as undefined. I am probably missing something obvious. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

You can pass clicked element as parameter to your function:
$('.button').click(function () {
myFunction(this);
});
function myFunction(element) {
console.log(element);
console.log(element.id);
console.log($(element).attr("class"));
}
UPDATE added jsfiddle

A couple of ways come to mind:
$(".button").click(myFunction);
Should work with the above myFunction.
$(".button").click(function () { myFunction($(this)); });
function myFunction($elem) {
var lastID;
lastID = $elem.attr('id');
$.data('lastID', lastID);
}

In order to get the class-name of the element, assuming you have an accurate reference to the element from which you want to retrieve the data:
var lastClickedElement = $.lastClicked,
lastClickedElementClassNames = lastClickedElement.className;
This does return the full list of all the classes of the element though.

$('.button').click(function () {
myFuntion(this);
});
function myFunction(ele){
var lastID;
lastID = $(ele).attr("id");
console.log(lastID);
}

First Select all possible DOM Elements
var lastSelectedElement = null
$(document).ready(function(){
$("*").live("click",function(){
lastSelectedElement = $(this);
myFunction($(this));
});
});
function myFunction(element) {
console.log(element);
console.log(element.id);
console.log($(element).attr("class"));
}
than you could play with lastSelectedElement by grabbing it's ID or Class with jQuery .attr("ID OR CLASS");

store HTML tag attribute value in a variable using Jquery

I am developing an application using JQuery. This is a fragment of the HTML code I am using:
<MarkNag class="altcheckboxoff" id="markable_38" Azpimark_id="100038">helburua </MarkNag>
<MarkNag class="altcheckboxoff" id="markable_2" Azpimark_id="100002">Oriolek </MarkNag>
<MarkNag class="altcheckboxoff" id="markable_39" Azpimark_id="100039">gas liberalizazioa </MarkNag>
I have the next JQuery script in the HTML page:
<script type='text/javascript'>
$("MarkNag").click(function (){
$(this).toggleClass("highlight");
});
</script>
I would like to know how could I store "markable_39" in a variable if this MarkNag tag was clicked. I guess I should use .data(). But I dont really know how. Any ideas? Thanks

Do it like this
$("MarkNag").click(function ()
{
$(this).toggleClass("highlight");
var IdOfTag = this.id;
//or
IdOfTag = $(this).attr('id');
});

Also, you can just use this.id,
like:
var id = this.id;

Actually, the correct code would be $(this).attr("id").

$("MarkNag").click(function (){
$(this).toggleClass("highlight");
alert(this.id); // Method 1: this.id
alert($(this).attr('id')); // Method 2: $(this).attr('id')
});

here u will get object from where the event occurs
var eventobject = arguments.callee.caller.arguments[0];
here u can access any attribute of currentTarget (in this case id)
var id = $(eventobject.currentTarget).attr("id");
