how to know the element that performed the click in a checkbox list dynamically added (javascript)

I have to add a list of checkboxes dynamically. I then need to know which one performed the click, then ask if it's checked or not.
I have this code:
$('#MyContainerOfChecksDiv').click( '.MySelectorClass', function(){
if ("MyCheckClicked".is(':checked'))
{
//...here i need to use the label and id
}
else{...}
})
using "$(this)" i get the "MyDiv", obviously using $(this).find('input:checkbox') I get the whole list of checks.
I have to get this checkbox because I need to use its properties.

Add a formal parameter to click handler and use it like this
$('#myDiv').click('.MySelectorClass', function (e) {
if ($(e.target).is(':checked')) {
alert(e.target.id);
}
})

Also it's not quite clear to me how you distinguish dynamically added elements and static. Do you have different class for them? If so then you dynamic and static elements can have different handlers and this will be the way to tell whether it was created dynamically

To delegate to dynamic elements you have to use .on(). The element that you clicked on will be in this.
$("#myDiv").on("click", ".MySelectorClass", function() {
if (this.clicked) {
// here you can use this.id
} else {
// ...
}
});
You can't use .click() to delegate like you tried. You're just binding the click handler to the DIV, and the string ".MySelectorClass" is being passed as additional data to the handler.

how to find the class name of 'deepest' div in javascript/jquery?

I am aware that e.target contains the info of the element just below the cursor, but what if I want to know the class name of the div which has a table>tr>td>button in it and I'm clicking that button inside that td. I know this events bubbles up and there should be a way to find out if the div exists in that bubbling levels. Any help.
Scenario: button is inside a modal window. How do I find the modal windows class name on click of the button inside it.

Use .closest() to traverse up the DOM to the nearest match:
var parentDiv = $(yourButton).closest('div');
Or in the button's click:
$(yourButton).click(function() {
var nearestParentDiv = $(this).closest('div');
// And read its class
console.log(nearestParentDiv.attr('class'));
});
The selector .closest() accepts can of course be more specific than this, so if if the modal window <div> has some known class but you need to inspect its other classes, you should use the more specific selector.

Yes as you say the event will bubble up to your div, so just make the div handle the event with .on() , like this:
$('#yourdiv').on('click',':button',function(e) {
alert( $(e.delegateTarget).attr('class') );//alerts the classes of #yourdiv
alert( $(this).attr('id'));//alerts the id of the clicked button (if have one)
});
UPDATE:
Fixed obtaining the reference to the original div where the event was attached. With event.delegateTarget from the Event object . Thanks Cristophe and Kevin B. for spotting the error.
See working demo

You can use .parent() to get the parent div attributes like id: http://jsbin.com/ololad/1/edit
$('button').click(function(){
console.log($(this).parent().attr('id'));
});

getting individual atrributes while selecting a class with JQuery

I'm new to javascript and JQuery, and I'm working in a small project with JSP.
I create a grid dynamically with JSP and I added some buttons wich class is "select" and in the alt attribute I set the current row index. That works perfectly, I'm trying to set the onclick dynamically. This is my code
$('.select').click(function (){
alert($('.select').attr('alt'));
}
I want to each button to show its own index, but that code shows just the first index in each button. I've searched how to do it, but nothing comes out.
Is there a chance to do what I want?

change this line as:
alert($(this).attr('alt'));

When jQuery calls your event handler it sets this to be the DOM element in question, so try this:
$('.select').click(function (){
alert($(this).attr('alt'));
});
If you need to access DOM element properties you can then get them directly, e.g.:
alert( this.id );
this.value = "test";
If you need to use jQuery methods on the element you need to pass it to the jQuery function first, e.g.:
$(this).hide();
$(this).css("color","red").slideDown();

$('.select').click(function (){
alert($(this).attr('alt'));
});
Change
alert($('.select').attr('alt'));
by
alert($(this).attr('alt'));
Now you select the attr alt of the button lauch the event.

Not sure if that's what you're looking for but...
$('.select').click(function() {
$('.select').each(function() {
$(this).attr('value', $(this).attr('alt'));
});
});
This'll have every button "show" the value stored within their alt attribute when you click one button.
By the way, if you're using 1 button per row, you'd probably better go with index().

Button.Click event is not firing up

I am new in JQ. I have created this fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/SZ6mY/7/
All I want to do is to show an "ALERT" message when "C" button is clicked. Also I want to know that if you click "7" how you grab the value 7 in a variable in JQ?
Any input is appreciated! Thanks.

change btnClear to #btnClear. The # tells jquery that the following string is an ID and not a class, selector, etc.
$("#btnClear").click(function() {
alert("test");
});
You comment question:
$('input:button').click(function () {
alert(parseInt($(this).val(), 10))
})
this code will look for ALL input buttons and bind this event to them.

You need to add a "#" to specify that you are looking to use the id "btnClear".

You need a number sign to select by id, like $("#btnClear"). As for your second questions, all your numbered buttons are calling a function right now like NumPressed(7); So you can just use the parameter passed to that function. If you want to clean up your code though and remove those onclicks. You can also detect the value of the button like $(selector).val();

you should change the
$("btnClear").click(function() {
alert("test");
});
to
$("#btnClear").click(function() {
alert("test");
});
Then the jQuery can find the input element with id 'btnClear'.
Is that clear?
The number input elements you placed a function named NumPressed with the click event, so you can do it like normal js.

Okay! I did something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/SZ6mY/8/
So I'm assuming that in my seven variable the value 7 will be stored. Is this correct?

Appending a string variable in jQuery

I'm not sure if I have the syntax correct in the code below, I'm trying to append a var to a string parameter within the find function. I'm trying to search for a unique id within each input element of a particular form.
//Get value attribute from submit button
var name = $('#myForm').find('input#submitThis').val();
//Other code that manipulates the name variable
//Submit button in hidden form
$('.submitLink').click(function(){
$('#myForm').find('input#'+name).click();
return false;
});
The element with a submitLink class is supposed to be tied to the submit button in the form. I don't think I have the syntax correct though, when I go back and click the element that has the submitLink class, nothing happens.

The syntax appears fine to me. To be sure the selector is what you are expecting it to be, you could do something like this:
$('.submitLink').click(function() {
var selector = 'input#' + name;
alert(selector);
/* rest of the code */
});

Try adding an alert to test the var inside the event handler (and to see that the handler is fired). Also, if you are looking for an element with a specific id you don't need to include the element type. Like this:
$('.submitLink').click(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
alert(name);
$('#' + name, $('#myForm')).click();
});
NOTE: If you are trying to find an element by its name rather than ID you must use $("input[name='foo']").
