Event listener not working on new dom element

The classic issue!

When you add a new DOM element to the page, event listeners attached to the original DOM tree may not work on the new element. This is because the event listener is attached to the specific element, not to the event type or the document.

Here are a few reasons why this might happen:

Event delegation: When you add a new element, the event listener is not automatically applied to the new element. You need to re-attach the event listener to the new element.
Event bubbling: When an event occurs on a new element, it may not bubble up to the parent element where the event listener is attached. You need to make sure the event listener is attached to the correct element.
Event listener scope: The event listener may be scoped to a specific element or context, and not automatically applied to new elements.

To fix this issue, you can try the following:

Re-attach the event listener: When you add a new element, re-attach the event listener to the new element using the same method you used to attach it initially.

const newElement = document.createElement('div');
//... add new element to the page...
newElement.addEventListener('click', function() {
// event listener code here
});

Use event delegation: Instead of attaching an event listener to each individual element, attach it to a parent element that contains all the elements you want to listen to. This way, when an event occurs on any of the child elements, it will bubble up to the parent element and trigger the event listener.
```
const parentElement = document.getElementById('parent');
parentElement.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
if (event.target.classList.contains('child')) {
 // event listener code here
}
});
```
Use a more general event listener: Instead of attaching an event listener to a specific element, attach it to a more general element, such as the document or a parent element. This way, the event listener will catch events on any element that matches the selector.
```
document.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
if (event.target.classList.contains('child')) {
 // event listener code here
}
});
```
Use a library or framework: If you're using a library or framework like jQuery, React, or Angular, they often provide built-in mechanisms for handling events on new elements.

Remember to check the event listener's scope and make sure it's attached to the correct element or context. If you're still having trouble, provide more code and details about your specific use case, and I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot!
