Backbone.js Events And El

Okay, so I've read several other questions regarding Backbone views and events not being fired, however I'm still not getting it sadly. I been messing with Backbone for about a da

Solution 1:

Your problem is that the events on GridView:

events: {
    'click .grid-view': 'okay'
}

say:

when you click on a descendent that matches '.grid-view', call okay

The events are bound with this snippet from backbone.js:

if (selector === '') {
  this.$el.on(eventName, method);
} else {
  this.$el.on(eventName, selector, method);
}

So the .grid-view element has to be contained within your GridView's this.el and your this.el is <div class="grid-view">. If you change your events to this:

events: {
    'click': 'okay'
}

you'll hear your cows (or "hear them in your mind" after reading the alert depending on how crazy this problem has made you).
