JQuery Click Event

I'm trying to add a function that tracks a click event on the user forums using JQUERY:
$('#dnn_ctr382_Forum_Search_cmdSearch').bind('click', function() {
_gaq.push('ForumSearch');
});

When I step through it, the _gq.push function is never called. It's acting like the click event is false. Any ideas on how to implement this on DNN 5.6.1?

thanks in advance.

Re: JQuery Click Event

Have you tested if the element can be found on page load and that it is not somehow loaded after. If so you have to use the live() method

Also the way you do it is not transferable, since its only usable in that specific page an not hers better do check to of part of the attribute. My preferred method is checking of it ends with what I need ( after all the stuff added in frond is .net/dnn added so not really needed and changing every time )

so in your case something like ( supposing its a link )

jQuery('a[id$="Forum_Search_cmdSearch"]')
