JavaScript JavaScript not adding event listener

[richarddunnebsc]

I have the following code that adds a new row to a table, then replaces an add button with a delete button

                var table = $('#Table');
                var lastRow = table.find('tr:last');
                var clone = lastRow.clone();
                table.append(clone);
                var button = document.createElement("input");
                button.type = "button";
                button.value = "X";
                button.name ="DeleteRow";
                button.style.width = "50%";
                button.addEventListener('click',function(){
                    DeleteRow(this);
                })
                clone.find('td:first').empty();
                clone.find('td:first').append(button);

One, problem, why I click a delete (X) button, nothing happens. After inspecting the code, the added delete button doesn't have a onclick() function. Hence nothing happens.
Any ideas what the problem is/might be? Appreciate any help.

Hi there,
You aren't setting your button lol. you are creating it but not setting it anywhere 😉 start there
